Frequently asked questions
Can my AI create a new equipment reservation?
Yes. Use the create_reservation tool with the equipment ID, member user ID, date, and time slot. The agent books the equipment and confirms the reservation details.
How do I check equipment availability?
Use list_equipment to see all gear with current availability status, then get_equipment for detailed specs on a specific item. Cross-reference with list_reservations to see upcoming bookings.
Can I view member profiles and membership tiers?
Yes. list_users returns the full member directory, and get_user fetches a detailed profile for any member including contact information, membership tier, and activity status.
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.
