Managing Staff Availability with the MCP Server

Use `get_staff_slots` to pull available times for any employee. This lets your agent check capacity instantly, so it doesn't suggest a slot that's already taken. The tool also includes `list_staff`, giving your agent a full roster of employees. It makes sure the agent knows exactly who can take bookings before attempting to schedule anything.

Booking and Modifying Appointments

`book_appointment` takes booking data as a JSON string, creating a new record automatically. When plans change, `cancel_appointment` handles the deletion of an existing slot cleanly. These actions are critical for any production agent system. They allow your AI client to manage the full lifecycle of a patient or client visit.

Getting Service and Workspace Details

`list_services` pulls up every service offered, letting your agent guide the user through choices. Similarly, `list_workspaces` lets it understand which location is needed for the appointment. If you need to know what's available at all, `list_appointments` fetches a complete history of bookings.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Bookings 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 Bookings tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
