Frequently asked questions
How do I get my VTEX API credentials?
Log in to your VTEX Admin, go to Account Settings → Application Keys, and create a new App Key. You'll receive an App Key and App Token pair. You also need your Account Name (the subdomain you use to access the VTEX Admin, e.g., 'mystore'). Ensure the key has Catalog and Logistics read/write permissions. No code, no SDK — just connect and go.
Can my agent update stock levels without opening the VTEX Admin?
Yes! Use the 'manage_stock' tool with a SKU ID and the new quantity. Your agent updates the inventory balance in real-time through the VTEX Logistics API — perfect for warehouse teams receiving shipments who need to update stock counts without navigating to the Inventory module.
How does product search work with categories and brands?
The 'search_products' tool supports three search modes: full-text (e.g., 'Nike Running Shoes'), by brand ID (e.g., 'b/1234'), or by category ID (e.g., 'c/5678'). This means your agent can quickly audit all products under a specific brand or explore an entire product category — no manual catalog browsing required.
Can I create new products and manage my entire catalog via AI?
Absolutely. The 'save_product' tool lets your agent create or update products by sending a structured JSON body. Combined with 'get_category' and 'get_brand' for classification, your agent can handle the full product lifecycle — from initial creation to SKU-level stock adjustments — ideal for merchandising teams managing large VTEX catalogs with thousands of products.
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.
