How to Use the Vidyard MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I list all video assets using Vidyard and the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Your agent uses listvideos to pull a full manifest of every stored asset. This call returns metadata for all your videos, helping you keep track of what's available.

Q: What is the best way to check player status with Vidyard and the OpenAI Agents SDK?

To see if a player is configured correctly, run getplayerdetails. This retrieves specific information about a container without needing to list everything in your account.

Yes. The toolset provides deletevideoasset to permanently remove a video asset from Vidyard. Be careful, though; this action is irreversible.

Control Vidyard Players with the MCP Server

You can list every video player container configured in your account by calling `list_video_players`. This lets you see all the facades currently active. You also have a simple way to update how they appear using `update_player_name`.

Get Detailed Info on Video Assets

Need specs on a video? Use `get_video_details` to pull technical metadata for any asset. If you need the actual stream links, `get_video_source_files` fetches direct URLs for various qualities like 480p and 720p. These functions are crucial when your agent needs to verify if a video is ready for embedding before continuing its workflow.

Managing Video Player Lifecycle

Build out players from scratch using `create_empty_player`. After that, you can pull all the necessary player information with `get_player_details`. If a player is retired, `delete_video_player` handles its permanent removal. Remember, this MCP Server lets your agent handle both creation and cleanup of these containers.

Setup guide

Set up Vidyard 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 Vidyard tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
