How to Use the Zoho WorkDrive MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I list files and folders in Zoho WorkDrive using OpenAI Agents SDK?

You simply invoke the listfiles tool. Your agent calls this function, and it returns a structured list of all visible files and directories within your connected Zoho WorkDrive space.

Q: Can I manage file links with Zoho WorkDrive and OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. You can create new shareable links using createsharelink or see what external links already exist by running listsharelinks. The agent handles the link generation and tracking for you.

Q: What if I need to delete a file in Zoho WorkDrive with OpenAI Agents SDK?

The server exposes deletefile. When your agent executes this, it doesn't just delete; it runs through its guardrails first. This means you get an extra layer of safety before any data is permanently removed.

Q: Does Zoho WorkDrive support folder operations with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Absolutely. You can manage your file structure by calling createfolder to make new folders, or use the renamefile tool if you need to move and rename something that already exists.

Connect Zoho WorkDrive file actions directly into your production agent system using OpenAI Agents SDK.

Managing File Structure via MCP Server

Need to organize client materials? Your agent can create new folders with `create_folder` or rename existing ones using `rename_file`. These actions happen within the secure context of the MCP Server, ensuring that every file system change is tracked and guarded by your built-in guardrails. It's perfect for deployment where reliability matters. You can also list all available team workspaces using `list_team_folders` before committing to a folder creation.

Monitoring File Access and Permissions

Your agent needs visibility into who sees what? Use the MCP Server tools to check file metadata with `get_file_metadata`, or list current permissions using `list_file_permissions`. This gives your deployed product the necessary context before an action is taken. It's not just about reading; you can even see which external links are active by calling `list_share_links`, keeping your compliance checks airtight.

Retrieving Team and User Context

The system needs to know who it’s working for. Your agent runs smoothly when it can pull current user details via `get_my_profile`. It also handles broader organizational context by listing all available teams using `list_teams`. This lets your product make intelligent decisions, like knowing which team folders (`list_team_folders`) to focus on first.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho WorkDrive 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 WorkDrive tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
