Perplexity

Verify voice ordering.

The `check_voice_hierarchy` tool validates if individual voices move in the correct ascending order. This prevents agents from generating passages that sound technically unsound, forcing adherence to established musical rules. You can use this check early in your agent pipeline. It tells you immediately when a sequence of notes violates standard voice-leading principles.

Assess harmonic movement.

`analyze_voice_conduction` analyzes the progression between two specific chord voicings. This function pinpoints exactly how each note moves from one harmony to the next, confirming if that conduction is plausible under classical rules. It's perfect for building music generation agents where accuracy matters. You don't just need chords; you need believable movement between them.

Grade transition quality.

`evaluate_smoothness` measures the overall fluidity of a musical change. Instead of just flagging bad steps, this tool gives you a score on how smooth a whole transition feels, accounting for leaps and jumps. This means your OpenAI Agents SDK can move beyond simple validation into genuine quality control. You'll know if the passage sounds natural or forced.

Setup guide

Set up Voice Leading Checker 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 Voice Leading Checker tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Voice Leading Checker MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

You pass the MCP toolset directly to your agent constructor alongside other tools. Your agent's internal guardrails will automatically discover and invoke the checker when needed, handling all input parsing for you.

Yes. The tool is designed to operate within classical harmonic principles, meaning it handles transitions across different functional keys and tonalities effectively. Just make sure your input data clearly defines the starting and ending voicings.

The tool is designed for asynchronous operation, which keeps your agent flow moving quickly. It provides immediate feedback on validation results without blocking other tasks in your workflow.

This MCP specifically processes musical notation data, handling structured inputs representing chord voicings and note sequences. It requires precise definitions of these elements for analysis.

Absolutely. You can build multi-step automations where the output of one tool, like `analyze_voice_conduction`, becomes the input for another, such as checking the resulting smoothness.
