Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Concur Client ID and Secret?
Register a new application in the SAP Concur Developer Portal. Once approved, you'll receive a Client ID and Client Secret.
What is the Refresh Token used for?
SAP Concur uses OAuth 2.0. The Refresh Token automatically generates short-lived access tokens without requiring manual login each time.
Can I submit an expense report via this integration?
The current version focuses on reading and listing data. Submit and approve capabilities may be added in future updates.
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.
