Manage Subscriptions via MCP Server

You'll manage the entire subscription lifecycle. Use tools like `create_subscription` or `update_subscription` to handle new sign-ups and changes. Need a user offboarded? Simply call `cancel_subscription` or `pause_subscription`. You can also reactivate service immediately with `reactivate_subscription`.

Process Estimates and Invoices using OpenAI Agents SDK

When you generate a quote, start by running `create_estimate`. Once the client approves it, mark it accepted using `accept_estimate`. To bill them later, use `create_invoice`. Remember to update or void bills with `update_invoice` and `void_invoice` if anything changes.

Handle Credits and Payments

Credits don't have to be manual. You can create a credit note using `create_credit_note`, then apply it across multiple bills with `apply_credit_note_to_invoices`. To get paid, you'll run `collect_invoice`. For refunds, use the specific functions like `refund_payment` or `refund_credit_note`.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Billing 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 Zoho Billing Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
