Frequently asked questions
Can I use this with a self-hosted Invoice Ninja instance?
Yes! You can provide a custom Base URL in the authentication settings to connect to your own server.
Does the AI Agent handle recurring invoices?
Currently, the agent focuses on creating and fetching standard invoices, clients, products, and payments. You can use the Invoice Ninja dashboard for recurring settings.
Can I process credit card payments through this agent?
No, the agent can list and retrieve payment records, but it does not act as a payment gateway to process actual credit card transactions.
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.
