Frequently asked questions
How do I obtain a HealthCare.gov API Key?
You must request a free API key through the CMS Marketplace API portal (developer.cms.gov/marketplace-api). Keys are typically sent via email and must be renewed every 60 days.
Can I check if my doctor is in-network for a specific plan?
Yes! Use the get_provider_coverage tool by providing the plan ID and the provider ID. The agent will confirm the network status for that specific combination.
What geographic information is required for plan searches?
Most searches require a 5-digit ZIP code and a 5-digit County FIPS code. You can use the get_counties_by_zip tool to retrieve the FIPS code for any ZIP code.
Is the integration secure for searching health data?
Absolutely. The integration uses official CMS API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
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.
