How to Use the KnowFirst MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can my OpenAI Agents SDK setup run custom queries on KnowFirst?

Yes. Your agent invokes querycustomintelligence by passing structured JSON parameters directly to the MCP Server.

Feed KnowFirst intelligence data directly into your OpenAI Agents SDK workflow to inspect entity profiles and trends.

Perplexity

Map corporate networks with OpenAI Agents SDK

Trace ownership webs directly with `get_entity_connections` to map complex corporate relationships. The agent pulls raw data points with `list_entity_data_points` to flesh out the nodes. You get a clean network map without writing custom graph parsing code. OpenAI's built-in guardrails validate these connections before execution. If the agent tries to fetch a bad node, the SDK blocks the call, keeping your intelligence pipeline clean and predictable.

Track market changes using this MCP Server

Monitor industry shifts by calling `get_market_intelligence_trends` across finance or tech sectors. Your agent then runs `audit_entity_changes` to see who is moving the needle. You get live notifications of market shifts based on real data. The OpenAI dashboard traces every single tool execution, so you can see exactly which sources from `list_intelligence_sources` your agent used to reach its conclusions. This MCP Server keeps your automated market research fully auditable.

Custom intelligence queries via OpenAI Agent handoffs

Execute `query_custom_intelligence` with custom JSON parameters to find targets. When the agent finds a match, it hands off to a compliance agent to verify the entity using `get_entity_profile`. The handoff happens behind the scenes. Because the SDK auto-discovers these tools, you don't need to manually map functions. Just pass the server to the agent constructor and let the models coordinate.

Setup guide

Set up KnowFirst 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 KnowFirst tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about KnowFirst MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK and set up MCPServerStreamableHttp pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass that instance into your Agent constructor's mcp_servers list to enable auto-discovery.

Yes. Your agent invokes `query_custom_intelligence` by passing structured JSON parameters directly to the MCP Server.

The SDK validates every tool schema before execution. If the agent tries to run `search_intelligence_entities` with bad arguments, the SDK catches the error before hitting the API.

No. This MCP integration auto-discovers all 10 tools, including `check_knowfirst_api_status` and `search_data_sources`, when you start the server stream.

Vinkius runs the server in an isolated sandbox. Your raw entity profiles and query parameters never persist on the host, keeping your compliance investigations private.
