Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Apollo API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > Integrations > API, and generate or copy your unique personal token.
Can I enrich a company by its domain via AI?
Yes! The enrich_company_data tool allows your agent to retrieve high-fidelity metadata like revenue and tech stack using just the company domain.
How do I check my remaining credits?
Use the get_credit_info tool to retrieve real-time data on your search and enrichment quotas directly through your AI agent.
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.
