Frequently asked questions
How do I send a fax via AI?
Use the send_fax tool with your connection ID, recipient phone number (E.164 format), and a URL to the PDF or TIFF document.
Can I check the status of a sent fax?
Yes. Use get_fax with the fax ID to see delivery status, page count, duration, and any error details.
How do I see my fax-enabled phone numbers?
Use list_fax_numbers to retrieve all phone numbers in your Telnyx account that have fax capability enabled.
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.
