How to Use the Zoho CRM (Full) MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I check deal progress with Zoho CRM and OpenAI Agents SDK?

Absolutely. Just call zohosearchcontacts with a name or email. This finds converted prospects—people who are already qualified customers, not just raw leads.

Perplexity

Manage entire sales pipelines

When you need to track a potential sale, start by calling `zoho_search_leads` or `zoho_search_contacts`. You can quickly pull up all the necessary info—name, source, company—to see where they are in the funnel. Once qualified, convert them into an account and create a deal using `zoho_create_deal`, then log internal details with `zoho_create_note` attached to any record.

Find company accounts fast

Need data on a specific client? Use the `zoho_search_accounts` tool. It pulls account name, industry, website, and annual revenue right from Zoho CRM. If you just need to check if an account exists or get its ID for another action, this function is your fastest way to verify that company record.

Log activity across modules

Don't rely on scattered notes. The `zoho_create_note` tool lets you attach meeting summaries or call logs directly to a Lead, Contact, Deal, or Account. You can also use `zoho_list_records` if you just want a quick overview of recent activity across the whole CRM system.

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.

3

Create your Agent

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