Logging New Support Cases

Need to log a customer issue? The `zoho_create_case` tool handles that. You pass it the subject, priority (High/Medium/Low), origin channel, reason, and description, and an official case file gets created in Zoho CRM. It keeps track of everything—who reported it, what the problem is, and how urgent it needs to be—so your agents never lose context when logging a new record.

Maintaining Knowledge Base Articles

When an agent solves something unique, they don't just fix it; they document it. Use `zoho_create_solution` to generate a knowledge base article. You provide the title, question, and answer, and the system handles setting the draft status before publishing. This builds your internal self-service documentation, making sure those solutions are findable by customers later on.

Auditing Existing Support Data

Before creating anything new, you gotta check what's already there. The `zoho_list_cases` tool pulls a full list of support cases. It shows the subject, current status (New/Assigned/Closed), priority, origin, and who owns it. This is perfect for quickly checking the workload across your entire queue or figuring out which issues are stuck in 'On Hold' status.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho CRM Service 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 Service tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
