Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Steam Web API Key?
Log in to your account and navigate to steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey to generate or copy your unique key.
Can I see my friends' status via AI?
Yes! The list_steam_friends tool allows your agent to retrieve high-fidelity status metadata and recently played games for your friend list.
How do I check my total playtime for a game?
Use the list_owned_games tool to retrieve your complete high-fidelity library along with total playtimes (in minutes) for each app.
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.
