Update Deals via MCP Server

Need to adjust a deal? Use `update_existing_deal` to change any detail on an existing opportunity. This function lets your agent modify specific data points, like changing the projected close date or adjusting the value. You'll call this when sales parameters shift—maybe the client changed their budget, or maybe you need to reflect a revised scope of work.

List and Retrieve Leads

Your agent can pull data on prospects using `list_sales_leads` or get deep details on one lead with `get_lead_details`. This gives your team immediate visibility into who's in the funnel. If you know the organization name, start by calling `create_new_lead` to log them first. Then use the list tools to build out a full view of all potential accounts.

Create New Contacts and Deals

When you onboard a new client, your agent handles everything. Use `create_sales_contact` to log the person or organization first. Once that contact exists, you can immediately set up a deal using `create_sales_deal`, linking the opportunity directly to the right person. This sequence lets your system build out records—from initial contact to fully logged opportunity—without manual steps.

Setup guide

Set up Zendesk Sell 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 Zendesk Sell tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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