Why teams choose Vinkius for Resend in OpenAI Agents SDK
The Resend MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 11 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in OpenAI Agents SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details for a specific email just by providing its ID?
Yes! Use the get_email tool with the Email ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including delivery status, timestamps, and recipient info in seconds.
How do I find my Resend API Key?
Log in to your Resend dashboard, navigate to the API Keys section, and generate a new key (it will start with re_). Copy and save it securely.
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.
