Bring Safety Compliance
to OpenAI Agents SDK
Learn how to connect Gripr to OpenAI Agents SDK and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Gripr MCP Server?
Connect your Gripr (Goliath Systemer) account to any AI agent and take full control of your construction projects and craft business workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Project Orchestration — List and manage all active construction projects and retrieve detailed technical metadata and status
- Time Tracking — Programmatically register work hours for specific projects and retrieve history to ensure accurate billing and labor oversight
- Task Lifecycle — Create and manage project tasks to coordinate on-site activities and maintain a high-fidelity project schedule
- Customer CRM — Manage customer profiles and retrieve detailed contact information to streamline client communication
- Field Compliance — Access HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) and QA (Quality Assurance) forms directly through your agent
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key from your Gripr account (Settings > Integrations / API)
3. Start managing your construction workflows from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual time logging or complex navigation through fragmented project lists. Your AI acts as your dedicated construction project manager.
Who is this for?
- Project Managers — instantly register site hours and update task statuses using natural language queries
- Company Owners — monitor project progress and retrieve customer data without leaving your workspace
- Field Supervisors — quickly access compliance forms and manage team assignments across multiple construction sites

Why teams choose Vinkius for Gripr in OpenAI Agents SDK
The Gripr 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 11 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.

How Vinkius secures
Gripr for OpenAI Agents SDK
Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK to the Gripr MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my API Key in Gripr?
Log in to your Gripr account and navigate to Settings > Integrations / API to generate your unique key.
Can I register hours for a specific project?
Yes! The register_hours tool allows you to provide the projectId, duration in minutes, and a description for each entry.
How do I access compliance forms?
Use the list_forms tool to retrieve a directory of all available HSE and QA forms configured in your workspace.
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.
