Perplexity

Execute direct market orders via MCP Server

The `spot_add_order` tool lets your agent place, check, and cancel trades instantly across both spot and futures markets. By registering this MCP Server with your runtime, the agent gains direct access to execution tools like `futures_send_order` without you writing custom API wrapper code. Risk management is handled directly through tools like `spot_cancel_all` and `spot_cancel_all_orders_after`. This setup stops runaway trades if your connection drops, keeping your deployed capital safe.

Track orderbooks and tickers

The `spot_get_depth` tool pulls live market depth and history to make informed trading decisions. It pulls live orderbooks using `futures_get_orderbook` to verify liquidity before sending a trade. The agent also monitors market trends using `spot_get_ohlc` and `spot_get_spread`. This lets the model evaluate spread volatility dynamically before executing any transaction.

Audit balances in OpenAI Agents SDK

The `spot_get_balance` tool keeps your agent informed of its actual buying power before it tries to execute a trade. It checks current holdings and pulls ledger history via `spot_get_ledgers` to verify past transactions. By accessing `spot_get_trade_balance` and `spot_get_open_positions`, the SDK tracks margin levels in real time. This keeps your automated strategies within strict risk limits during volatile market shifts.

Setup guide

Set up Kraken Alternative 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 Kraken Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Kraken Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install `openai-agents` via pip. Initialize `MCPServerStreamableHttp` pointing to your Vinkius endpoint, then pass it directly into the Agent constructor. The agent automatically discovers all 28 trading tools.

Yes, it includes tools like `futures_send_order` and `futures_get_tickers`. Your agent can trade both spot and derivative markets through the same connection.

The server forwards exchange rate limit headers directly. You can configure your agent to monitor `spot_get_system_status` to pause calls when API limits are near capacity.

Yes, you can filter the tool list before passing it to the Agent constructor. This prevents the model from calling destructive tools like `spot_cancel_all` if you only want it to read data.

Vinkius manages your API keys securely inside an ephemeral sandbox. The OpenAI Agents SDK only sees the MCP tool definitions and receives JSON payloads, never touching the raw private keys.
