Manage live orders via OpenAI Agents SDK

The `list_orders` tool lets your agent monitor incoming customer transactions from your QR menus in real time. The agent grabs the latest order queue, checks details with `get_order`, and updates the kitchen without human intervention. Using the OpenAI Agents SDK, you can set up strict guardrails to prevent agents from modifying orders incorrectly. If a customer wants to cancel, the agent checks the status before calling `update_order_status` to avoid cancelling a meal that is already cooked.

Keep digital menus accurate using this MCP Server

The `get_menu` tool pulls current menu configurations directly into your agent's context window. Your agent uses this tool alongside `list_categories` to answer customer questions about what dishes are available right now. Because the OpenAI Agents SDK supports auto-discovery of MCP tools, your agent immediately knows how to query `get_item` for pricing and ingredients. This setup prevents the agent from hallucinating dishes that are out of stock.

Monitor restaurant API health automatically

The `check_menutiger_status` tool verifies your connection to the menu platform before running any customer-facing tasks. Your agent runs this verification step first to ensure the API is fully responsive. If the connection drops, the OpenAI Agents SDK handles the failure gracefully using built-in tracing. You can track exactly when `get_account` or status checks failed directly on your developer dashboard.

Setup guide

Set up MENU TIGER 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 MENU TIGER tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about MENU TIGER MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK via pip and use `MCPServerStreamableHttp` pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass the server instance directly into your Agent constructor to let it auto-discover the tools.

Yes, by using the SDK's built-in guardrails. You can write validation logic that runs before the agent invokes `update_order_status` to ensure only permitted users change order states.

The SDK uses tool caching to keep the list of tools lightweight. When your agent calls `list_items` or `list_menus`, it only pulls the specific data payload it needs, keeping the context window clean.

No. This MCP Server exposes its schema directly to the SDK. Your agent instantly understands parameters for tools like `get_item` without manual schema definition.

Vinkius runs the server in an isolated sandbox, meaning your order histories and customer details never persist on our servers. Your API keys are encrypted, and data only flows directly between the OpenAI Agents SDK and the menu API.
