Frequently asked questions
Can I filter blog entries by a specific topic like 'Civil Rights'?
Yes. Use the list_blog_entries tool and set the title parameter to 'Civil Rights'. This will return entries matching that specific keyword.
How do I get the full text of a press release?
Once you have the UUID from a list, use the get_press_release tool with that uuid. It will return the full body, URL, and metadata.
Can I control how many results are returned per query?
Yes, use the pagesize parameter (default 20, max 50) and the page parameter to navigate through the results.
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.
