Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details and points for a specific subscriber by providing their ID?
Yes! Use the get_subscriber tool with the List UUID and Subscriber ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including referral counts and current point balances in seconds.
How do I find my ReferralHero API Token?
Log in to your ReferralHero dashboard, navigate to Account > API, and you will find your unique secret token there.
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.
