Frequently asked questions
How is FRED organized?
FRED uses a hierarchical tree of categories. The root (ID 0) branches into 8 domains like Money & Banking, Employment, and Prices. Each domain subdivides into hundreds of subcategories, each containing related series. Start from root and drill down to discover data.
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.
