Frequently asked questions
How can I see which templates are available in my Bannerbear project?
You can use the list_templates tool. It will return a list of all templates associated with your API key, including their names and unique UIDs.
Can I generate a video using this integration?
Yes! Use the create_video tool by providing a video template UID and the necessary input data for the frames. The AI will handle the request and return the video details.
How do I check if my image has finished rendering?
Use the get_image tool with the image UID. It will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the public URL of the image once it is ready.
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.
