Why teams choose Vinkius for HRBlade in OpenAI Agents SDK
The HRBlade 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 6 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I create an interview template and send invitations to candidates?
Yes. Use create_interview with a JSON payload containing the title, description, and an array of questions. Then use send_interview_invitation with the candidate's email, first name, last name, and the interview ID. The candidate will receive an email with a link to record their video responses.
Can I review all video responses submitted by candidates?
Yes. The list_interview_responses tool retrieves all submitted video responses with candidate details, interview template reference, and submission timestamps. Use get_candidate_details to inspect a specific candidate's full profile and response history.
How does asynchronous video interviewing work with HRBlade?
HRBlade enables one-way video interviews where candidates record responses at their own pace. You create a template with questions, send an invitation, and the candidate records video answers through a web link. You can then review all responses asynchronously without scheduling live calls. Use list_interviews to see all templates and list_candidates to track your pipeline.
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.
