Send targeted messages with OpenAI Agents SDK

Need to run an SMS drip campaign? Your agent calls `send_texter_message` directly. It formats and sends the text, ensuring timely follow-ups hit their mark without manual intervention. This handles basic messaging for any active chat channel. The tool lets your AI client manage the full sequence of outreach, from initial contact to status update.

List communication channels via MCP Server

Before sending anything, you need context. Use `list_texter_channels` to see every available channel ID. This gives your agent the scope it needs before attempting any action. Your agent can then use `get_texter_chat_details` on a specific ID to verify if that conversation is still active and worth messaging.

Send formatted templates with OpenAI Agents SDK

Don't just send plain text. Use `send_texter_template` to fire off structured messages, perfect for WhatsApp or Messenger campaigns. This keeps the message looking professional and template-approved. It ensures that automated outreach adheres to platform rules, which is critical when running high volumes of drip campaigns.

Setup guide

Set up Texter 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 Texter tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
