Creating Invoices via Zoho Invoice MCP Server

Call `create_new_invoice` to generate a new bill instantly. You supply the invoice details in a JSON body, and your agent executes the creation across Zoho Invoice. Need to track down specific billing records? Use `list_invoices` to get an organization's list of all paid and unpaid invoices.

Retrieving Billing Details with OpenAI Agents SDK

To check on a specific bill, invoke `get_invoice_details`, passing the required invoice ID. This pulls everything you need about that single invoice. Also grab customer data with `list_invoice_contacts`. It gives your agent access to all stored customer profiles.

Managing Zoho Invoice Estimates and Items

Run `list_estimates` when you need a quote summary for the organization. This tool pulls every available estimate or quote. If you're building an item catalog, use `list_invoice_items`. It lists all products and services that can be billed.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Invoice 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 Invoice tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
