How to Use the Zoho Sheet MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: What if I need to update a specific range of data in Zoho Sheet using OpenAI Agents SDK?

You use the updatecells tool. You just specify the coordinates and the new values, and your agent writes those changes directly to the sheet. No manual copy-pasting required.

Q: Can I list all workbooks in Zoho Sheet using OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. The listworkbooks tool is available on the MCP Server. Your agent calls this, and it gets a full inventory of every workbook you have managed within your account.

Q: Does the Zoho Sheet connection support listing shared users with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Absolutely. The listsharedusers tool allows your agent to check exactly who has access to a given sheet or workbook, which is crucial for managing permissions.

Perplexity

Manage Workbook Structure

Your agent can handle the whole lifecycle of a spreadsheet. It's not just about reading; it lets you `create_workbook`, and if that’s done, it handles the structure by calling `create_worksheet`. This means agents manage entire data containers, making sure your output is always contained. This setup works great when dealing with multiple projects or datasets. If a team member needs to clean up old material, the agent can call `delete_worksheet` without messing up related files.

Access and Update Cell Data

Need specific data points? The MCP Server lets your OpenAI Agents SDK get precise cell contents using `get_cells(g. A1:D10)`. You don't have to download the whole thing just for a few numbers. Better yet, if something changes, you can update it directly. Use `update_cells` to change values across defined ranges, ensuring your agent keeps data current without manual intervention.

Discovering Zoho Sheet Resources with MCP Server

The server lets your agents list and search for every asset in Zoho Sheet. You can call `list_workbooks` to see everything available, or narrow it down by running a specific search using `search_workbooks`. This prevents the agent from getting lost in hundreds of files. Furthermore, if you need to know who has access, the server exposes `list_shared_users`, giving your agent full visibility into permissions and collaboration settings.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Sheet 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 Sheet tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
