FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I see the current league table for a specific competition like the Premier League?

Yes. Use the get_competition_standings tool with the competition code (e.g., 'PL' for Premier League). It will return the full standings including points, goals, and form.

02

How do I find the top goal scorers for the current Champions League season?

Simply use the list_competition_scorers tool and provide the competition ID or code (e.g., 'CL'). The agent will list the top players and their goal counts.

03

Is it possible to check the match history or upcoming fixtures for a specific team?

Yes, you can use list_team_matches by providing the Team ID. You can also filter by status (e.g., 'FINISHED' or 'SCHEDULED') to see past or future games.

04

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.

05

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.

06

Does the SDK support streaming responses?

Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
