Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Expensya Token?
Log in to Expensya as an admin, navigate to Administration > Integrations > API Keys, and generate your unique token.
What is the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key?
This is an additional security key obtained by registering on the Expensya Developer Portal and subscribing to an API product.
Can I automate exports through the agent?
Yes! Use the export_expense_data tool and provide a valid exportId. The agent will trigger the export process in the background.
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.
