Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Ashby API Key?
Log in to Ashby, go to Admin > API Keys, and click Create API Key. Ensure you grant the necessary permissions (e.g., jobsRead, candidatesRead).
Why does this server use POST for all requests?
The Ashby API is designed as an RPC-style API where even data retrieval (reading) endpoints require a POST request with a JSON body.
Can I search for candidates by email?
Yes, use the search_candidates tool and provide the email parameter to find a specific candidate in your database.
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.
