How to Use the itch.io MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK setup filter itch.io games by price?

Yes. The getusergames tool returns price metadata for each game. Your Python script can filter this dictionary to isolate free or paid titles according to your rules.

Q: Does the itch.io integration support multi-agent handoffs in OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. You can assign the getcollectiongames tool to a discovery agent, which then passes the structured game list to a purchasing agent.

Q: What happens if my itch.io API key is invalid?

The getme tool returns an authentication error. Run this tool first during your agent initialization sequence to catch credential issues early.

Let your OpenAI Agents SDK systems instantly pull indie game libraries and creator profiles directly from itch.io.

Audit Owned Games and Creator Libraries

The `get_user_games` tool pulls your entire itch.io catalog of purchased, collected, and developed titles in a single call. This tool returns exact game URLs, cover images, and pricing details so your agent can inspect what you own. Your deployment pipelines use this raw data to run automated checks on game updates. Instead of manual scraping, the MCP server parses the structured JSON payload to trigger downloads or log developer pricing changes.

Validate API Key and Profile Settings

The `get_me` tool gets your itch.io profile details including your display name, username, and avatar URL. This functions as a quick connectivity test to confirm your endpoint credentials work before running deeper queries. OpenAI Agents SDK uses this profile data to personalize responses or route tasks based on who is logged in. It establishes an identity anchor before executing complex multi-agent workflows.

Navigate Collections with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `get_user_collections` and `get_collection_games` tools let you inspect specific lists of games by their unique collection IDs. Your agents extract metadata, creator information, and prices from these custom groups without manual browsing. This setup allows your agent to build recommendation lists or filter titles based on developer profiles. You get direct access to curated indie lists using this MCP integration.

Setup guide

Set up itch.io 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 itch.io tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate itch.io 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="itch.io Agent",
            instructions="You have access to itch.io tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
