How to Use the IPinfo Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I install the IPinfo Alternative MCP Server in my OpenAI Agents SDK project?

Run pip install openai-agents first. Then, configure MCPServerStreamableHttp using your Vinkius endpoint and pass this server instance in the mcpservers list when initializing your Agent, setting cacheToolsList=True to keep tool discovery fast.

Q: How does OpenAI Agents SDK handle rate limits with the IPinfo Alternative MCP tools?

The SDK handles rate limits gracefully by using the batchenrichips tool for high-volume queries. This reduces total HTTP requests, preventing your agents from hitting API ceilings during heavy log analysis.

Q: Do my agents need custom code to discover the ASN and WHOIS tools?

No custom code is required. The server advertises getasn and getwhoisnet automatically, allowing your agents to find and use them instantly upon startup.

Bulk IP audits with OpenAI Agents SDK guardrails

Your OpenAI Agents SDK agents can now analyze up to 1,000 IP addresses in a single run. By exposing the `batch_enrich_ips` tool, this MCP Server lets your agent system process massive security logs without hitting API rate limits or blowing past your rate budgets. Because the SDK has built-in guardrails, you can validate these bulk actions before they run. If your routing agent tries to pass suspicious data to `get_lookup_ip`, the safety layer catches it, logs the trace to your OpenAI dashboard, and keeps your pipeline clean.

Deep network ownership tracing

Hand off complex security investigations between specialized agents. When an agent detects a suspicious address, it can invoke `get_whois_net` or `get_whois_org` to pull ownership details, then hand the task to a containment agent. This MCP Server exposes granular tools like `get_whois_poc` and `get_asn` directly to your model context. Your OpenAI Agents SDK setup auto-discovers these tools, giving your agents the exact context they need to make blocking decisions.

Domain mapping for reverse lookups

Identify what is running on any host. Your agent uses `get_hosted_domains` to pull paginated lists of domains sharing an IP address, giving you immediate visibility into shared hosting or malicious neighbors. You can also call `get_ranges` to map out every IP block tied to a target domain. This lets your OpenAI Agents SDK deployment map entire attack surfaces dynamically during automated security runs.

Setup guide

Set up IPinfo Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all IPinfo Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives IPinfo Alternative tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate IPinfo Alternative tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="IPinfo Alternative Agent",
            instructions="You have access to IPinfo Alternative tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about IPinfo Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Run `pip install openai-agents` first. Then, configure `MCPServerStreamableHttp` using your Vinkius endpoint and pass this server instance in the `mcp_servers` list when initializing your Agent, setting `cacheToolsList=True` to keep tool discovery fast.

Yes, every tool execution is fully traced. When your agent calls `get_enterprise_ip` or `get_lite_ip`, the complete call stack and tool outputs are sent directly to your OpenAI developer dashboard for debugging.

The SDK handles rate limits gracefully by using the `batch_enrich_ips` tool for high-volume queries. This reduces total HTTP requests, preventing your agents from hitting API ceilings during heavy log analysis.

No custom code is required. The server advertises `get_asn` and `get_whois_net` automatically, allowing your agents to find and use them instantly upon startup.

Your IP addresses, ASN numbers, and WHOIS query records are processed inside a zero-trust, ephemeral V8 isolate sandbox. No query history is persisted, ensuring your infrastructure logs and target IP data remain strictly confidential.
