How to Use the Twist MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I retrieve user lists with Twist and the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. The listworkspaceusers tool lets your agent fetch every member ID within a specific workspace. This is critical for building targeted communication workflows.

Q: What if I need to update an old message with Twist and the OpenAI Agents SDK?

You don't have to rewrite it. The updatedirectmessage tool lets your agent modify a message using its unique ID, ensuring the history remains accurate.

Perplexity

List and Discover Conversation Spaces

You can map out the entire communication structure of a team. Start by calling `list_workspaces` to identify all active Twist Workspaces in your organization. After you know the workspace ID, use `list_channels` to get every channel within that space. This allows your agent to precisely scope where it needs to look for conversations.

Initiate and Manage Discussion Threads

Need a new topic? The `create_thread` tool lets the agent build an asynchronous discussion in any given channel, complete with a title and initial content. Alternatively, use `send_direct_message` if you just need to talk one-on-one with a specific user. The agent maintains continuity by using `update_thread`, which modifies existing thread titles or core content when necessary.

Track and Modify Communication Content

The MCP Server gives your agent full control over message history. Use `list_direct_messages` to pull all messages from a specific 1-on-1 conversation, or use `list_threads` to see every thread inside one channel. If you need to adjust something already posted, the `create_comment` tool lets your agent post a reply directly to an existing thread ID.

Setup guide

Set up Twist 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 Twist tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Twist MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You pass the MCP Server instance into your Agent constructor. This auto-discovers all available tools like `create_thread` and `list_channels`. Your agent then uses its internal guardrails to execute these actions safely.

Yes. The `list_workspace_users` tool lets your agent fetch every member ID within a specific workspace. This is critical for building targeted communication workflows.

You don't have to rewrite it. The `update_direct_message` tool lets your agent modify a message using its unique ID, ensuring the history remains accurate.

Absolutely. Your agent can manage entire workflows—from listing workspaces to creating threads and commenting on them—all in a single, controlled sequence of calls.

The server handles sensitive communication metadata, specifically `Message Content` strings. Your agent only interacts with this content through validated function calls, adhering to your defined safety parameters.
