Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically book a hotel or flight without my interaction?
No. The integration focuses completely on data retrieval, availability checking, and extensive itinerary building. Final booking operations and payment processing are locked and require manual checkout steps through Expedia's secure domains.
How do I easily search for all available properties in a very specific zip code?
Direct your agent to use the search_properties tool providing exact latitude, longitude or targeted region queries. It will instantly return a list of ranked properties fitting your geographic constraints.
Can the integration track flight prices across multiple upcoming months simultaneously?
Yes. This depends on how your AI agent queries the search_flights tool. You can prompt your agent to iteratively call the endpoint across a range of dates, compiling a full pricing comparison table instantly.
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.
