Discover job listings using MCP Server tools.

The `list_jobs` tool lets your agent pull all active openings from Workable. It gives you a list of jobs that need filling, letting your AI client know exactly where to focus its efforts. You can also check out the full scope with `list_account_members`. Your agent uses this to identify who's on the hiring team so it knows who needs to approve next steps.

Manage candidate data in production agents.

`get_candidate_profile` pulls all the details for a specific applicant. This is key when your agent needs context, like seeing their full work history before recommending them. Need to track everyone? Use `list_all_candidates`. Your agent runs this tool to get a master list of every candidate across every job opening.

Registering new talent via the MCP Server.

When you find a great person, use the `create_candidate` tool. This lets your agent register a brand-new applicant record directly into Workable's system. It also handles setting up jobs with `get_job_details`. Your agent can pull job requirements and specifications to ensure new candidates match the role accurately.

Setup guide

Set up Workable 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 Workable tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
