Frequently asked questions
How do I get started with the Best Buy integration?
Subscribe, enter your API credentials (just your API Key generated from developer.bestbuy.com → My Apps), and you're ready. No code, no setup, no webhooks — just connect and start exploring retail data through your AI agent. Takes only 30 seconds — no secondary OAuth apps, no logs.
Can my AI agent check if a specific TV is available at my local store?
Yes. Your agent queries the exact SKU against real-time local inventories using your ZIP code or Store ID. It returns exact quantities and pickup availability instantly without you ever opening the website.
What happens when I need to compare highly-rated products before a purchase?
Just ask your AI agent. It actively parses Best Buy's endpoint for items matching your criteria, filtering only for top-tier ratings and summarizing user reviews—all in a single conversation, accelerating your decision-making.
Can I automate pulling product data and images for my affiliate marketing site?
Absolutely. Program the agent to fetch bulk product schemas, including high-res URLs, precise dimensions, and technical specifications, which is perfect for e-commerce developers maintaining synchronized comparison sites.
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.
