How to Use the Unkey API Management MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can I programmatically list all APIs using Unkey API Management with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Absolutely. Your agent executes the listapis tool, retrieving a complete inventory of every service exposed in your Unkey project for easy reference.

Q: Does Unkey API Management support key rotation via OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. You can call revokeapikey to delete an old credential and immediately follow up with createapikey to issue a fresh, updated replacement.

Perplexity

Build secure key lifecycle management

Your agent uses `create_api_key` when a new user needs access. It also handles the cleanup, so you can permanently remove keys with `revoke_api_key`. This keeps your deployed product clean and secure. Need to update an existing credential? Just call `update_api_key`. The SDK manages this flow asynchronously, making it perfect for background agent tasks.

Track usage metrics in real-time

When users hit rate limits or need billing checks, your agent calls `get_verification_analytics`. This function pulls specific data on how often keys are used. You get concrete numbers here, not vague summaries. It also lets you check if a key is still good using `verify_api_key`. The agent makes this call before any major action, preventing failed requests down the line.

Discover and manage all available APIs

Before calling anything, your agent needs to know what's available. You can use `list_apis` to pull a list of every API within the Unkey project. This step gives you visibility into your entire service structure. Want details on a specific endpoint? Use `get_api_details`. The result provides all the technical specs needed for your agent to build complex, multi-step calls.

Setup guide

Set up Unkey API Management 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 Unkey API Management tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
