How to Use the Mux MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I list Mux video files inside my OpenAI Agents SDK agent?

Yes, the listassets tool is automatically discovered by the agent. Simply call the tool within your agent routine to retrieve the current video library.

Q: Does the Mux MCP server support stream keys in OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, createlivestream returns the necessary stream key directly to your agent. You can then pipe that output into your broadcast software.

Directly manage video infrastructure in OpenAI Agents SDK. Create assets and monitor streams without leaving your agent loop.

Perplexity

Automated video asset lifecycle

Trigger `create_asset` or `create_direct_upload` directly from your agent logic. Your OpenAI Agents SDK workflow handles the payload and confirms creation before proceeding to the next task. Keep your media organized by calling `list_assets` to pull current status into your agent state. It removes the need for manual console checks when you need to confirm a file is ready for playback.

Real-time stream management

Initialize broadcasts using `create_live_stream` within your agent execution flow. Your OpenAI Agents SDK environment receives the stream key immediately upon creation. Verify your setup by running `get_live_stream` to confirm the configuration state. If you need to clean up old sessions, just invoke `delete_live_stream` to keep your Mux account tidy.

Performance tracking for your agent

Fetch engagement data using `get_recent_views` to see how your content performs. The OpenAI Agents SDK processes these metrics to inform your next deployment decisions. View specific asset details with `get_asset` to confirm playback readiness. It ensures your agent only references files that passed the Mux ingestion process.

Setup guide

Set up Mux 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 Mux tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
