Frequently asked questions
Is the environmental tracking completely real-time?
Yes! The system taps directly into the active observation corridors of the Environmental Protection Agency, gathering insights exactly as they are reported by local atmospheric sensors.
How does it help people with asthma or sensitivities?
The agent retrieves exact pollutant indices and maps them into clear categories, letting users instantly know when it is dangerous for sensitive groups to engage in outdoor activities.
Are the geographic queries limited by zip code only?
No, you can query locations by ZIP code to find immediate reporting areas, or use exact latitude/longitude coordinates to pull the closest station parameters precisely.
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.
