How to Use the Mailshake MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect the OpenAI Agents SDK to Mailshake?

Install openai-agents, create an MCPServerStreamableHttp instance with your Vinkius URL, and pass it to your Agent constructor. The tools from the MCP server are discovered automatically.

Q: Can my OpenAI agent add prospects to a Mailshake campaign?

Yes. Once connected, your agent can use the addprospects tool to add new contacts to any of your active campaigns. You can feed it a list and have it enroll them one by one.

Build production sales agents that manage Mailshake campaigns right from your OpenAI Agents SDK.

Run Campaigns with Guardrails

Connect your agent to Mailshake to run your entire outreach operation. It can `list_campaigns` to see what's active, then `pause_campaign` or `resume_campaign` based on your instructions. The agent can even pull campaign performance with `get_campaign_details`. The OpenAI Agents SDK automatically discovers these tools. Because it has built-in guardrails, you can set rules to prevent the agent from, say, pausing a high-performing campaign without your explicit approval. It's control, not just automation.

Manage Leads Safely with this MCP Server

Your agent can add new contacts to a sequence using `add_prospects` and check on their status. When a lead replies, you can have the agent automatically `update_lead_status` to 'Replied' or 'Interested'. You can even tell it to `pause_prospect` if a contact asks to be put on hold. The SDK's tracing dashboard gives you a full log of every action. You'll see exactly which agent updated which lead and why, which is critical when you have multiple agents working together on your pipeline.

Get Team Metrics without Leaving Your App

Build internal dashboards or summary reports with real-time Mailshake data. Your agent can call `get_team_details` to see who's on the account or `list_engagement_activity` to check open and click rates. It's a direct line into your team's performance. This isn't just about pulling data. You can create specialized agents—one for reporting, another for campaign ops—and have them hand off tasks. The reporting agent gets the data, the ops agent acts on it. That's how you build a real system.

Setup guide

Set up Mailshake 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 Mailshake tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
