Frequently asked questions
Can I add a new bidder straight from the chat interface?
Absolutely. By providing the 'create_clickbid_bidder' tool with a JSON string containing the guest's name and contact info, they will be registered instantly.
How do I retrieve a list of everyone who bought event tickets?
Use the 'list_clickbid_ticket_purchasers' tool. The AI will query the API and return the complete roster of ticket buyers for your active events.
Is it possible to view specific details about a donated item?
Yes. Provide the item's unique ID to the 'get_clickbid_item' tool, and the AI agent will pull its description, estimated value, and current bid 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.
