Perplexity

Triage incoming requests automatically

The `list_requests` tool exposes active customer inquiries with their summaries and status fields directly to your OpenAI Agents SDK agent. This lets your python script filter incoming tickets and hand them off to specialized agents based on real-time priority. By letting your agent call `get_request`, it reads the full description and custom fields to diagnose issues. Your guardrails validate these actions before execution to keep the pipeline secure.

Map support portals with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `list_service_desks` tool lets your OpenAI Agents SDK agent identify available portals and their unique project configurations. From there, this MCP Server helps your autonomous team route tickets without human intervention. The agent uses `list_request_types` to match the customer's problem with your actual service catalog layout. This ensures tickets land in the correct queue from the start.

Identify customers and organizations

The `list_customers` tool provides your OpenAI Agents SDK agent with customer account details linked to specific service desks. This allows your agent to verify identity and check SLA tiers before processing requests. To handle business accounts, `list_organizations` groups these customers into their respective enterprise buckets. The agent uses this structural data to route high-priority enterprise issues through the MCP integration.

Setup guide

Set up Jira Service Management (JSM) 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 Jira Service Management (JSM) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Jira Service Management (JSM) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install `openai-agents` first. Initialize `MCPServerStreamableHttp` with the Vinkius endpoint, set `cacheToolsList=True`, and pass it to the `Agent` constructor.

Yes, you can build specialized agents for different queues. One agent runs `list_queues` to monitor backlog, then hands off the ticket ID to a technical agent that calls `get_request` for deep analysis.

The SDK handles streamable HTTP connections, but you should implement backoff logic in your agent loops. The MCP Server passes native JSM API responses, so your agent can inspect status codes if throttling occurs.

No. The MCP Server exposes schemas automatically. The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 10 tools, meaning your agent instantly understands how to call `list_knowledge_bases` or `get_info`.

Vinkius runs this MCP Server in an isolated V8 sandbox. Ticket descriptions, customer emails, and queue names are processed in memory and never stored on disk or used for training.
