Safe agent operations via OpenAI Agents SDK

The `get_me` tool lets your agent identify its workspace connection before running any write operations. Your agent auto-discovers this MCP Server and 11 other tools instantly, establishing a secure link to your workspace databases. Built-in guardrails validate every proposed action against your custom safety rules before executing. You can trace every single database check or page edit directly in your OpenAI dashboard. This gives you a clear audit trail of what your agents are doing in real time.

Structured database queries and page generation

Use `query_database` to pull specific records based on your custom filters and sorting criteria. When your agent finds what it needs, it uses `create_page` to generate new entries with exact schema properties mapped automatically. This setup prevents database pollution by forcing agents to match your existing Notion properties. If a property is missing, the agent halts the run instead of creating messy, malformed pages.

Direct block edits and user directory lookups

The `append_block_children` tool inserts new content blocks directly into any existing page or database item. Your agent can also run `list_users` to find the right team member to assign to a new task. This lets you build multi-agent handoffs where one agent pulls user IDs with `retrieve_user` and another updates the page status. It cuts down on manual coordination by letting specialized agents handle distinct steps of your workspace updates using this MCP connection.

Setup guide

Set up Notion 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 Notion tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Notion MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK and pass the Vinkius MCP endpoint to your agent constructor. The agent auto-discovers all 12 tools, including `search` and `update_page`, with zero manual configuration.

Yes, you can limit tool access using the SDK's built-in guardrails. This prevents the agent from calling tools like `update_page` while still allowing read-only operations like `list_databases`.

The server handles standard API rate limits automatically at the transport layer. If your agent runs a heavy `query_database` loop, the connection manages retries so your Python script does not crash.

Your agent can only access databases and pages that you explicitly share with the integration. Use `search` to check which resources are currently visible to your connected client.

Your database properties and page blocks are processed inside our secure MCP sandbox. Vinkius operates a zero-trust model where data is never stored on disk, and the endpoint token is discarded immediately after the request completes.
