How to Use the Tower MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I use the OpenAI Agents SDK to check project details?

Yep. You simply call getproject(projectid). The agent pulls all necessary metadata, like associated tasks and team leaders, keeping you updated on the status without logging into Tower.

Q: Does the OpenAI Agents SDK handle task updates?

Absolutely. You can use updatetask to modify any existing task in Tower. This is critical for building reliable automation that changes data fields or assigns new owners.

Q: How do I list all available Tower projects using the OpenAI Agents SDK?

You call listprojects(). This gives you an exhaustive list of every project managed by Tower, allowing you to choose your starting point for any workflow.

Managing Projects with the MCP Server

Need to know what's going on across your teams? Your agent can pull a list of all available projects via `list_projects`. This gives you a high-level view of everything Tower manages, making it easy to select where you need to focus. From there, you can drill down. You get full project details with `get_project` and then check out every active task using `list_tasks`, keeping your agent grounded in real data.

Updating Tasks via OpenAI Agents SDK

Don't just read the status—change it. If a team member needs to adjust an item, your agent calls `update_task(task_id, new_details)`. This handles everything from changing due dates to marking tasks as complete. This capability means you don't need manual intervention for routine changes. You build reliable workflows that actually move the project forward.

Retrieving Team and Discussion Data

Working on a project requires knowing who does what. Your agent can list every team member using `list_members` or see all discussions associated with a specific area through `list_discussions`. This gives context to any action taken. Furthermore, you don't have to guess where files are. You check the available document folders using `list_doc_folders`, giving your agent visibility into project assets.

Setup guide

Set up Tower 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 Tower tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
