Perplexity

Send Messages via MCP Server

Use `send_template_message` or `send_text_message` to manage outgoing communication. Your agent sends a structured message, automatically handling the necessary formatting and compliance checks required for WhatsApp. You'll get confirmed delivery status and immediate feedback on the message send attempt, letting you know right away if the recipient needs to be prompted differently.

Gather Account Details

The `get_business_profile` tool pulls core business data. This lets your agent check credentials and make sure the account is ready for service calls. You can also use `get_waba_details` to grab specific WABA account information, ensuring that any downstream action you build works with current platform parameters.

Manage Templates & Numbers

Want to see what templates are available? Running `list_message_templates` shows every template ID. If you need to clean up old stuff, the agent can run `delete_message_template`. Plus, `list_phone_numbers` checks all associated numbers, giving your production system a full inventory before sending anything out.

Setup guide

Set up WhatsApp Business 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 WhatsApp Business Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives WhatsApp Business 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 WhatsApp Business 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="WhatsApp Business Alternative Agent",
            instructions="You have access to WhatsApp Business Alternative tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
