Frequently asked questions
How do I add a new tracking number?
Use the create_tracking tool and provide the tracking number and the courier slug (e.g., 'fedex', 'dhl'). Your agent will add it to AfterShip and start monitoring the status.
Can the agent automatically detect the courier?
Yes! Use the detect_courier tool with any tracking number. AfterShip will analyze the format and return a list of potential carrier matches.
What tracking statuses are supported?
AfterShip normalizes tracking data into standard statuses: Pending, In Transit, Out for Delivery, Delivered, Exception, and Failed Attempt.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
