Frequently asked questions
How do I find my ArborNote API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API, and generate or copy your unique secret access key.
Can I update client details via AI?
Yes! The update_arbornote_client tool allows your agent to modify names, emails, and phone numbers for existing records programmatically.
How do I check financial metrics?
Use the get_arbornote_metrics tool to retrieve a high-fidelity summary of your agency's financial and operational performance data.
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.
