- Live Monitoring — Get the latest PM2.5, O3, NO2, SO2, and CO readings from any location worldwide
- Historical Analysis — Query time-series measurement data with date range filters for trend analysis
- Location Discovery — Browse monitoring stations by country, city, or geographic area
- Sensor Tracking — View active sensor devices and their measurement parameters
- Parameter Reference — Look up all measurable air quality parameters with units and classifications
- Global Coverage — Access data from 100+ countries with thousands of active monitoring locations
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an OpenAQ API Key?
Visit OpenAQ Platform, create a free account, and generate your API key from the dashboard. Free tier includes 1,000 requests/hour.
What air quality parameters can I monitor?
PM2.5, PM10, O3 (ozone), NO2, SO2, CO, BC (black carbon), and more. Use get_parameters to see the full list with units and classifications.
Can I get historical air quality data?
Yes! Use get_measurements with date_from and date_to parameters in ISO 8601 format to retrieve time-series data for any location and parameter.
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.
