Frequently asked questions
How do I prevent my IBKR API session from timing out?
You can use the tickle_session tool. It is designed to maintain the Client Portal API session by sending a heartbeat, preventing timeouts due to inactivity.
Can I retrieve historical trade reports through this server?
Yes. First, use send_flex_request with your Flex Query ID to generate a report. Then, use the returned Reference Code with get_flex_statement to download the data.
How do I check my current buying power and margin requirements?
Use the get_account_summary tool with your Account ID. It returns a comprehensive summary of equity, margin, and other key financial metrics for the specified account.
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.
