Why teams choose Vinkius for Mercury in OpenAI Agents SDK
The Mercury 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 8 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 view balances and recent transactions?
Yes. You can query balances for all accounts and list recent incoming/outgoing transactions.
How does Mercury authentication work?
Mercury uses a Bearer token (API Token) against api.mercury.com/api/v1. Tokens must be generated with read-only scopes.
Can I initiate money transfers via the API?
The standard API token allows read-only access to balances and transactions for security reasons.
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.
