How to Use the Messenger MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I set up the Messenger MCP Server within my OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline?

Install the openai-agents package and initialize the MCPServerStreamableHttp client pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this server instance directly into your Agent constructor's mcpservers list to auto-discover all eight messaging tools.

Q: How do I handle rate limits when sending Messenger replies using OpenAI Agents SDK?

Set the cacheToolsList parameter to true in your configuration to avoid redundant tool lookups. For outbound traffic, use the SDK's built-in queueing to space out your sendmessage calls and respect Facebook API limits.

Q: Can my agent inspect Facebook Page configuration before replying?

Yes, your agent can run getpagesettings and getpageinfo to check active configurations. This prevents the agent from sending messages when the page is set to away or offline.

Track Active Conversations with OpenAI Agents SDK

`list_conversations` pulls the latest active chats from your Facebook Page directly into your agent's context. Your agent inspects these threads, checks customer intent, and decides which ones need immediate replies. By calling `get_messages`, the agent pulls down the full history of any single conversation. This gives your OpenAI Agents SDK agent the exact context it needs to avoid repeating previous answers or sounding like a broken record.

Deploy Targeted Messenger Personas Dynamically

`list_personas` exposes the exact active profiles configured on your Facebook Page. Your agent reads these profiles to match its tone with the specific persona assigned to the chat. Running `get_persona_info` retrieves the details of a specific persona to ensure the agent aligns with your brand rules. This MCP Server lets your OpenAI Agents SDK system switch between sales and support personas on the fly.

Safe Outbound Messaging with Native OpenAI Guardrails

`send_message` dispatches text replies to customers once your agent approves the generated response. The OpenAI Agents SDK runs validation checks before calling this tool, preventing half-baked drafts from reaching your customers. You can also query `list_message_creative` to pull pre-approved templates and media assets directly from your Facebook Page. This setup ensures your agent relies on verified brand assets instead of making up answers.

Setup guide

Set up Messenger 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 Messenger tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
