How to Use the Nmap Online MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How does OpenAI Agents SDK handle tracing for Nmap Online scans?

Every call to nmapscan or traceroute is logged directly in your OpenAI developer dashboard. You can monitor the exact latency, inputs, and outputs of your network audits.

Q: Does this MCP server support autonomous network troubleshooting?

It does. Your agent can detect a down service, run pinghost, and follow up with traceroute to isolate the network failure automatically.

Securely run network audits and port scans using the Nmap Online MCP Server inside your production OpenAI Agents SDK pipelines.

Run secure port audits with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `nmap_scan` tool lets your agent audit open ports and network exposures without leaving its execution loop. By hooking this MCP tool into your agentic workflow, you give your system the ability to inspect targets instantly. Your OpenAI agent can evaluate the scan results and use `get_http_headers` to inspect web servers. The SDK's built-in guardrails ensure that these network checks only execute against pre-approved target ranges.

Map domain infrastructure and trace paths

The `dns_lookup` tool resolves hostnames to IP addresses so your agents can map out target networks. When combined with `reverse_dns`, it uncovers hidden infrastructure records. This MCP Server integration lets your system diagnose routing issues on the fly before handing off the task to a human admin. If a connection drops, the agent runs `traceroute` to find the exact network hop causing the bottleneck.

Automate host discovery and recon

The `ping_host` tool checks if a target is alive before launching deeper inspections. This simple check saves execution time and API credits. Once a host is confirmed active, the agent uses `list_subdomains` and `whois_lookup` to build a complete footprint of the target domain. This data feeds directly into your OpenAI tracing dashboard for audit logging.

Setup guide

Set up Nmap Online 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 Nmap Online tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Nmap Online MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK first, then initialize the MCPServerStreamableHttp class pointing to your Vinkius URL. Pass this instance into your Agent's mcp_servers list to automatically register all network tools.

Yes, you can restrict access by passing a filtered tool list during initialization. This lets you block heavier scans like `nmap_scan` while keeping simple lookups open.

Every call to `nmap_scan` or `traceroute` is logged directly in your OpenAI developer dashboard. You can monitor the exact latency, inputs, and outputs of your network audits.

It does. Your agent can detect a down service, run `ping_host`, and follow up with `traceroute` to isolate the network failure automatically.

Your scanned IP addresses and domain names are sent securely through Vinkius's sandboxed environment. We do not store the raw outputs of your port scans or DNS lookups.
