How to Use the Ko-fi MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I use this Ko-fi MCP server to send money with my OpenAI Agent?

No, this server is read-only. It only has the listtransactions tool for fetching your income data, so your agent can't make payments or modify your Ko-fi account.

Check Ko-fi sales and donations from your OpenAI Agents. Pull transaction data without building a custom API client.

Automate Accounting Reports

The `list_transactions` tool lets your agent pull all recent Ko-fi activity. This includes one-time donations, new monthly subscribers, and shop sales. You can build an agent that runs on a schedule, fetches this data, and formats it into a daily or weekly report. Since it's just reading data, it's a safe, low-risk operation for an automated agent to run unsupervised.

Trigger Fulfillment Workflows

Use `list_transactions` to spot new shop orders for digital goods. Your agent can see the purchase details and the buyer's info. Then, you can hand off that data to another specialized agent to handle fulfillment. For example, an agent with access to your email tools could send the digital file. This keeps your Ko-fi MCP server focused on one job.

Safe Data Access for OpenAI Agents

This MCP Server exposes only one read-only tool: `list_transactions`. Your agent can't accidentally delete data or make charges. The OpenAI Agents SDK's built-in guardrails can work with this. You can require human confirmation before the agent even calls the tool, giving you full control over when your Ko-fi data is accessed.

Setup guide

Set up Ko-fi 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 Ko-fi tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Ko-fi MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You just point it at the Vinkius server URL. The SDK discovers the `list_transactions` tool automatically. No need to write schemas or API clients for Ko-fi.

No, this server is read-only. It only has the `list_transactions` tool for fetching your income data, so your agent can't make payments or modify your Ko-fi account.

Yes. You use a Ko-fi verification token that only grants read access. The agent can't access your login credentials, and this MCP server only exposes a tool to list transactions.

Absolutely. You can have one agent dedicated to monitoring Ko-fi. When it finds a new transaction, it can pass the details to another agent for processing, like sending a Discord notification.

The agent can only access Ko-fi transaction data, like donation amounts, timestamps, and supporter messages. Vinkius handles the connection with an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox, so your credentials aren't stored, and the agent only gets the data it asks for.
