Howspace in OpenAI Agents SDK
Howspace and 3,400+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Howspace to OpenAI Agents SDK through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Howspace in OpenAI Agents SDK
The Howspace 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 7 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
Howspace for OpenAI Agents SDK
Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK to the Howspace MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I create a workspace and add participants through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_workspace with a name to create a new collaborative workspace. Then use add_participant with the workspace ID, participant email, and optional first/last name to invite members. Use list_workspaces to see all existing workspaces and list_participants to review who is already in a workspace.
Does Howspace require a custom Base URL in addition to the API Key?
Yes. Howspace instances are hosted on custom subdomains, so you need to provide your Base URL (e.g., https://your-org.howspace.com) along with the API Key. The API Key is sent as a Bearer token, and all requests are routed to your specific Howspace instance.
Can I view all campaigns running in my Howspace account?
Yes. The list_campaigns tool retrieves all campaigns configured in your account, including engagement campaigns, communication sequences, and notification triggers. Use get_me to verify your authenticated identity and permissions.
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.
