Perplexity

Send and track SMS messages

The `send_sms` tool lets your agent push text messages out immediately. You can also check what's been sent or received by calling `list_conversations`. This gives you end-to-end visibility into messaging flow. Because it runs in an async context manager, the SDK handles complex call sequences reliably. It doesn't just run a quick script; it builds durable, multi-step communication logic.

Manage user and account data

The `list_users` tool lets you audit who's using the Vonage account. Need to know what’s available? You can call `list_applications` to see all associated services. This gives your agent a full picture of the connected ecosystem. Furthermore, you'll get access to financial details by running `get_balance`. Your AI client reads this data and makes sure subsequent actions are authorized against current usage limits.

Search for available phone numbers

Using `list_search_numbers` means your agent finds open lines when you need them. You can also pull a list of all existing assets with `list_phone_numbers`. This is critical for scaling out communication services. This capability ensures that before an outgoing call or message is attempted, the system verifies resource availability. It's proactive comms management built right into the agent lifecycle.

Setup guide

Set up Vonage Alternative 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 Vonage Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Vonage Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent auto-discovers the MCP tools, so you don't need to write boilerplate connection code. You just pass the server into the Agent constructor and start talking about what you want done.

Setting `cacheToolsList=True` significantly boosts performance by caching tool lists. This makes your agent faster when running repetitive audit or listing functions across multiple calls.

The SDK's async context manager handles the sequence. It manages state and error handling between individual `send_sms` calls, making sure your full comms pipeline executes cleanly.

The server touches account credentials and usage data. Specifically, it handles listing all `account_secrets` to manage access control for your agent's actions.

Your AI client provides full tracing via the OpenAI dashboard. This means every function call—like `list_voice_calls` or `get_balance`—is recorded and auditable for compliance.
