How to Use the Layup MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect Layup to my OpenAI Agents SDK project?

You initialize the connection using MCPServerStreamableHttp with the server URL. Once added to your agent constructor, the MCP server automatically exposes all tools for your agent to call.

Q: Can Layup help my OpenAI Agents SDK agent handle refunds?

Yes. Your agent uses cancelorder to void active plans. This ensures the order lifecycle reflects the latest customer requests in real-time.

Manage lay-by orders and payments directly within your OpenAI Agents SDK production environment.

Full order control for OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent gains the ability to initiate and void transactions without leaving your Python codebase. Use `create_order` to start a new plan or `cancel_order` when a customer changes their mind. These actions integrate with your existing guardrails. The agent handles the state machine for every lay-by transaction, ensuring you maintain a clean ledger.

Automated deposit tracking

Keep your financial data current by using `create_deposit` to log incoming funds. The agent links these deposits to specific plans by calling `list_payments` to check status. This removes manual data entry from your pipeline. You get an accurate view of every payment event inside your agent's execution trace.

Customer profile access

Fetching shopper details happens in milliseconds with `get_customer` and `list_customers`. Your agent retrieves specific checkout parameters needed to verify identity or contact info. This keeps your agent informed during customer support interactions. It pulls exactly what is required to resolve issues without fetching unnecessary records.

Setup guide

Set up Layup 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 Layup tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Layup MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You initialize the connection using `MCPServerStreamableHttp` with the server URL. Once added to your agent constructor, the MCP server automatically exposes all tools for your agent to call.

Yes. Your agent uses `cancel_order` to void active plans. This ensures the order lifecycle reflects the latest customer requests in real-time.

Absolutely. Because your agent interacts with tools directly, every `get_order` or `create_deposit` call appears in your standard dashboard logs for full visibility.

You should implement retry logic in your agent's tool-calling loop. The server provides raw access, so managing request volume is up to your specific implementation.

Layup processes only the specific order and payment strings you request. Your data remains isolated within the Vinkius sandbox, and the server requires a single endpoint token for all communication.
