- Automated Sending — Programmatically send new faxes to any international number in E.164 format and add transmission comments directly through your agent
- Telephony Management — Search for and list available fax numbers across various countries and area codes to expand your business presence
- Outbox Oversight — Track active fax jobs and programmatically cancel pending transmissions before they are completed to save resources
- Account Visibility — Retrieve complete profile information, assigned numbers, and team member directories to maintain high-fidelity oversight
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your Personal Access Token from Fax.Plus (Settings > Integrations)

Why teams choose Vinkius for Fax.Plus in OpenAI Agents SDK
The Fax.Plus MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 8 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in OpenAI Agents SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Personal Access Token?
Log in to your Fax.Plus dashboard, navigate to Settings > Integrations, and generate a new token under the Personal Access Token section.
What is the correct format for fax numbers?
Fax numbers must be in international E.164 format, including the plus sign and country code (e.g., +1234567890).
Can I cancel a fax before it is sent?
Yes! Use the cancel_outbox_job tool with the unique outbox job ID to stop a transmission that is still pending or sending.
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.
