Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Helpshift API Key?
Log in to your Helpshift dashboard, go to Settings > API, and you will find your API Key listed there. This key is used as the username for Basic Authentication.
What is the 'Domain' in the setup?
The domain is the unique identifier for your Helpshift instance (e.g., if you access it at company.helpshift.com, your domain is company).
Can I see the history of actions taken on an issue?
Yes! Use the get_issue_audit_logs tool (v2). It retrieves the action history, showing when status was changed, who was assigned, and which tags were added.
Is the integration secure for support data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication 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.
