Frequently asked questions
Can I calculate sales tax for a specific address via AI?
Yes! Use the calculate_sales_tax tool. Provide the destination country, zip code, and state along with the order amount. Your agent will return the precise tax to be collected.
How do I see in which states I have a tax nexus?
Run the list_nexus_regions query. The agent will retrieve a list of all regions (states or countries) where you have configured a tax nexus in your TaxJar account.
Is it possible to validate a shipping address via AI?
Absolutely. Use the validate_tax_address tool and provide the full address details. The agent will verify the address through TaxJar to ensure it is accurate for tax purposes.
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.
