Frequently asked questions
Can I search for news articles from a specific date range?
Yes! Use the search_everything tool and provide the from and to parameters in ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2023-12-01) to restrict your search to a specific timeframe.
How do I find the top business headlines in a specific country like the UK?
You can use the get_top_headlines tool. Set the country parameter to 'gb' and the category parameter to 'business' to get the latest relevant news.
Is it possible to see which news sources are available for a specific language?
Absolutely. Use the list_sources tool and specify the language parameter (e.g., 'en', 'pt', 'fr') to retrieve a list of all supported publishers for that language.
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.
