Frequently asked questions
How do I get an NCREIF API Key?
NCREIF API access is typically provided to member organizations. You can find or request your API key through the NCREIF Member Portal or by contacting their data services team.
What is the difference between NPI and ODCE indices?
The NPI (NCREIF Property Index) tracks the performance of individual institutional properties, while the ODCE (Open End Diversified Core Equity) tracks the performance of diversified real estate funds.
Can I filter data by property type?
Yes! Use the get_property_type_data tool to retrieve performance metrics specifically for categories like Office, Industrial, Retail, or Apartment.
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.
