Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent actually monitor a specific world championship game as it happens?
Yes! Use the list_broadcasts tool to find the tournament and then identify the specific match ID. The agent will retrieve technical updates and moves directly from the Lichess official transmission feed.
Do I need a paid account to access the Lichess technical data?
No. Lichess is a non-profit organization and all public data is free. However, providing a Personal Access Token (PAT) is highly recommended to ensure stable performance and higher rate limits during deep analysis sessions.
How do I see who are the top players currently competing in a specific variant like 'Crazyhouse'?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_leaderboards or get_top_10_variant_leaderboard tool. It will retrieve the elite rankings for all supported variants, including the player's rating and title status.
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.
