Stanford bioRxiv + OpenAI Agents SDK FAQ

Common questions about integrating Stanford bioRxiv MCP Server with OpenAI Agents SDK.

01

How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
