Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Zoho Bookings Authtoken?
Log in to your Zoho Bookings account, navigate to the API section in your settings, or use the Zoho Accounts portal to generate a permanent authtoken for API access.
Can the AI agent check staff availability for a specific day?
Yes! Use the get_staff_slots tool with the Staff ID, Service ID, and the target Date to see all available time slots for that day.
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.
