Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Poplar Access Token?
Log in to your Poplar account and navigate to the API Settings or Developer section. You will find your Access Token there. Use a Test Token for development and a Production Token for live mailings.
Can I standardize non-US addresses?
No, Poplar's address standardization service is specifically designed for US addresses only. For international mailing, ensure your addresses are pre-formatted correctly.
How can I check if a mailer has been delivered?
Use the get_mailer_status tool with the unique mailer ID. It will return the current status, including production phases and the final USPS delivery confirmation when available.
Is the integration secure for customer addresses?
Absolutely. The integration uses official Poplar Bearer tokens over HTTPS. Your credentials and customer data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
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.
