Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the latest stories for a specific report by its ID?
Yes! Use the list_stories tool with the Report ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for the newest stories, including headlines, summaries, and source links in seconds.
How do I find my Newslit API Key?
Log in to your Newslit account, navigate to Integrations > News API, and you will find your unique secret token (X-NewslitApiKey) there.
Does the API provide full article text?
The API primarily provides headlines, curated summaries, and source metadata. Direct links are provided to access the full content on the original publisher's website.
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.
