Why teams choose Vinkius for HiFlow in OpenAI Agents SDK
The HiFlow 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 12 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
HiFlow for OpenAI Agents SDK
Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK to the HiFlow MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start a new workflow from the AI?
Yes, you can trigger new workflow instances by specifying the process ID and required variables.
How do I check pending tasks?
Ask the agent to 'List my pending approvals', and it will retrieve the queue of tasks requiring your attention.
Is it possible to approve a task directly in the chat?
Yes! Provide the task ID and tell the agent to mark it as approved or rejected.
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.
