How to Use the Iterable MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Connect your production OpenAI Agents SDK pipelines to Iterable user and campaign data with built-in execution guardrails.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Iterable MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Iterable to OpenAI Agents SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Audit active marketing campaigns directly from your Python runtime
`list_campaigns` pulls active marketing campaigns and their IDs without manual dashboard lookups. You get raw JSON payloads containing names, statuses, and audience targeting rules. This MCP Server lets your OpenAI agent map out your current outreach footprint before making any messaging decisions. Once your OpenAI agent identifies the correct ID, it calls `get_campaign` to inspect targeting criteria and schedules. The agent uses this structural data to ensure it doesn't cross-wire communications or target the wrong segment. OpenAI tracing tracks these tool calls in real-time, giving you an audit trail of every database lookup.
Map automated lifecycle logic inside your OpenAI Agents SDK workflow
`list_workflows` fetches the active automation triggers and message sequences running inside your marketing platform. Your agent reads this logic to understand what automated emails or push notifications a customer is already scheduled to receive. It prevents your system from double-messaging users with overlapping triggers. Your OpenAI agent cross-references these automation paths with `list_message_types` to verify the exact category of each outbound message. By analyzing these categories, the agent routes transactional messages safely while respecting user opt-out preferences.
Run deep subscriber lookups using this MCP Server
`get_user` pulls complete subscriber profiles by email, returning custom fields, list memberships, and historic event logs. Your agent inspects this profile to diagnose delivery issues or personalize dynamic content blocks. To verify which segments the user belongs to, the agent queries `list_lists` to pull static and dynamic contact groups. This setup allows your OpenAI Agents SDK to make execution decisions based on real subscriber data, bypassing stale database mirrors.
Set up Iterable MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
openai-agentspackage (pip install openai-agents) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install the SDK
Run
pip install openai-agentsto install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
MCPServerSsewith your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Iterable tools at runtime. - 3
Create your Agent
Pass the MCP to
Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Iterable tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically. - 4
Run the agent
Call
Runner.run(agent, prompt)to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Iterable tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.
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="Iterable Agent",
instructions="You have access to Iterable tools.",
mcp_servers=[server],
)
result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
print(result.final_output)
