How to Use the Twilio SendGrid MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How does the OpenAI Agents SDK handle sending emails via Twilio SendGrid?

Your agent executes dispatchemail directly, which sends HTML content through the SendGrid SMTP relay. You just need to ensure your configuration uses a verified sender email address for the 'from' field.

Q: Can I use Twilio SendGrid statistics with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yup. You can get global delivery metrics by calling getdeliverystats, making sure you pass the date in YYYY-MM-DD format. This helps track performance over time.

Q: Does the OpenAI Agents SDK help me manage unsubscribes and spam reports?

Absolutely. The agent can list global unsubscribes using listglobalunsubscribes and also list user-reported complaints with listspamreports. This gives you a clear view of opt-out activity.

Q: What happens if I need to check which senders are verified for Twilio SendGrid using OpenAI Agents SDK?

The agent calls listverifiedsenders to get the list. This is crucial because only these identities can be used in your campaign's 'fromemail' field.

Send Targeted Emails

Your agent can dispatch emails natively, making sure you use a verified sender by calling `dispatch_email`. This handles the entire SMTP relay process for HTML content. It also lets your system check existing data with `get_template_details` before sending. You'll know exactly what code to use and if the template is ready.

Clean Up Suppression Lists

Don't let bad addresses clog up your lists. Your agent can run list hygiene by calling `list_bounces` to find records that failed delivery, or manually remove an address using `delete_bounce`. This keeps your sender reputation clean. It also gives you the option to clear out spam complaints with `delete_spam_report`, but remember: use this one carefully. It affects your sending history.

Manage and Search Contacts

Need details on a specific user? Your agent can look up a full profile using `search_contact_by_email`. This returns everything—custom fields, list memberships, segments. You can also maintain your outreach by listing all contacts with `list_marketing_contacts` or creating new ones/updating existing records with `create_marketing_contact`.

Setup guide

Set up Twilio SendGrid 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 Twilio SendGrid tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
