Perplexity

Manage the entire deal lifecycle using MCP Server.

Need to track a lead from initial contact? You can first `zoho_search_deals` to find active opportunities based on stage or amount. Once you pinpoint an opportunity, use `zoho_get_deal` to pull every custom field and history note attached to that record. If the negotiation wraps up, don't manually update anything. Just call `zoho_update_deal`. This tool handles advancing the deal stage, shifting the amount after talks, or setting the final 'Closed Won' status.

Generate and track sales proposals with OpenAI Agents SDK.

Starting a new quote? Your agent can use `zoho_search_products` to look up SKUs and current unit prices. With those details, you then call `zoho_create_quote`. This locks in the subject, sets the validity date, and creates the formal price proposal linked back to the correct deal. Later, if the client confirms, your agent can pull the initial quote data via `zoho_list_quotes` to make sure all pricing details are accurate before moving toward an order.

Process billing and sales commitment tracking.

After the sale, you need visibility on money coming in. Use `zoho_list_sales_orders` to see confirmed commitments, including total amounts and expected ship dates. For payment status, list all outstanding documents using `zoho_list_invoices`. This gives a clear picture of who owes what and when it's due. This combination of tools lets your agent manage the entire financial flow from quote approval right through to final invoicing.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho CRM Sales 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 CRM Sales tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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