FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I find out how much a specific candidate has raised in total for an election cycle?

Yes! Use the get_candidate_totals tool with the candidate's ID and the desired cycle. It will return aggregated financial summaries including total receipts and disbursements.

02

How do I search for all candidates running for the Senate in a specific state?

You can use the list_candidates tool and provide 'S' for the office and the two-letter state abbreviation (e.g., 'CA' for California) to filter the results.

03

Is it possible to see the history of a candidate's previous filings?

Absolutely. The get_candidate_history tool allows you to retrieve historical data for a candidate, showing their filings and designations over time.

04

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.

05

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.

06

Does the SDK support streaming responses?

Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
