How to Use the LicenseCheck API MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How does the LicenseCheck API integrate with OpenAI Agents SDK to stop bad dependencies?

Your agent calls checksoftwarelicense during the dependency resolution phase. If a blacklisted license is found, the agent halts the build or triggers a handoff to a human reviewer.

Q: Can I cache the LicenseCheck API tools list in OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, set cacheToolsList=True during initialization to avoid fetching tool definitions on every turn. This makes calls to listalllicenses and getlicensedetails much faster.

Q: How do I handle connection failures between the LicenseCheck API and OpenAI Agents SDK?

Have your agent call checkapistatus at the start of its run. If the endpoint is down, the SDK's error handling will catch the failure before any agent attempts to verify active licenses.

Run autonomous OpenAI Agents SDK workflows that check software licenses and flag compliance issues before deployment.

Audit package licenses directly inside your agent runs

This MCP Server exposes `check_software_license` so your agent can instantly verify if a dependency matches your team's legal whitelist. The tool returns raw license text and metadata, letting your agent make immediate decisions on whether to accept or block a library. Because OpenAI Agents SDK handles handoffs natively, you can route suspicious licenses to a specialized compliance agent. The agent calls `get_license_details` to extract specific permissions, ensuring legal checks happen in isolation before any code hits production.

Validate compliance guardrails with OpenAI Agents SDK

Here is the catch: you don't want your agent guessing. The `list_all_licenses` tool lets your agent pull the complete database from the MCP host to cross-reference them against active projects. This prevents your agent from making assumptions or hallucinating permissions during automated dependency sweeps. Using the SDK's built-in guardrails, you can intercept the output of `get_license_details` to verify the agent isn't misinterpreting copyleft clauses. This keeps your automated compliance pipeline completely safe and auditable. See for yourself.

Monitor API availability in production workflows

Your agent uses `check_api_status` to confirm the license database is online before initiating a large-scale codebase scan. If the service is temporarily unreachable, the agent pauses the run rather than failing silently or skipping critical compliance checks. OpenAI Agents SDK traces these tool calls in its central dashboard, letting you debug exactly when and why a license check occurred. This gives your engineering team a clear paper trail of every dependency verified by the MCP Server.

Setup guide

Set up LicenseCheck API 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 LicenseCheck API tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

No. The SDK auto-discovers all four tools when you register the MCP Server stream, exposing them directly to your agent's context.

No. Only standard software license identifiers and package names are sent to query `check_software_license`. Your proprietary source code never leaves the local environment.
