Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Armano API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > App Integrations, and copy your unique API Token from the credentials section.
Can I retrieve time entries via AI?
Yes! The list_time_entries tool allows your agent to retrieve clock-in/out records for any specific period.
How do I list my active employees?
Use the list_employees tool to retrieve your complete directory along with the unique identifiers for all registered staff members.
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.
