Automate zone management in OpenAI Agents SDK

You can now push infrastructure changes directly from your agent code using `create_zone` and `update_zone`. Stop logging into the dashboard for basic changes. Your agent handles the lifecycle of your DNS environment. It ensures your zones match your production state by calling `list_zones` and verifying current records.

Real-time traffic steering via NS1 MCP Server

Bind your agent to live telemetry by using `create_data_source` and `push_data_feed`. Your agent pushes health metrics to NS1 to shift traffic before outages happen. This creates a closed-loop system where your agent monitors infrastructure and updates routing logic. It uses `create_monitoring_job` to keep a pulse on your global endpoints.

Safe record manipulation with OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent performs surgical edits on DNS records using `update_record` and `delete_record`. It checks the state with `get_record` before sending any modifications. This prevents accidental misconfiguration. By defining clear tool usage patterns, your agent maintains strict control over your global record sets.

Setup guide

Set up NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) 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 NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) 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="NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) Agent",
            instructions="You have access to NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about NS1 (IBM NS1 Premium DNS API) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You initialize the server by passing the endpoint to the client constructor. Once configured, your agent automatically discovers all available tools.

Yes. You automate failover by pushing health data to your feeds. Your agent triggers these updates based on incoming telemetry.

The server uses your environment-provided token for auth. Your agent never sees the raw key, only the authorized connection.

The server returns a standard error response. Your agent catches this, allowing you to implement retry logic or alert your engineering team.

It touches your DNS records and zone configurations. The server operates in an ephemeral sandbox, ensuring your data isn't persisted beyond the session.
