Calculate Your True Storage Costs

This MCP gives your agent tools to figure out the real cost of holding grain. It uses `calculate_monthly_unit_cost` to break down expenses per bushel, per month. Then, your agent can use `calculate_storage_expenditure` to get the total cash you'll have tied up for the entire storage season. The OpenAI Agent's built-in guardrails ensure you can prevent it from acting on incomplete or bad calculations, which is critical for production systems.

Model Sell-vs-Hold Scenarios

The whole point is to decide when to sell. Your agent can use `calculate_required_price_spread` to find the exact price increase you need just to break even on storage costs. Armed with that number, it can run `evaluate_selling_strategy` to get a direct recommendation: sell now or hold. You can even build specialized agents that hand off this analysis to another agent that executes hedges or sales orders.

Production-Ready with OpenAI Agents SDK

Connecting this MCP is simple. The tools are auto-discovered by your agent, so there's no manual mapping. You get these financial models working in minutes. Because it integrates with the OpenAI dashboard, you get full tracing. You can see exactly how your agent used the Grain Storage Cost Calculator to arrive at its decision, which is essential for auditing financial choices made by your system.

Setup guide

Set up Grain Storage Cost Calculator MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Grain Storage Cost Calculator tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Grain Storage Cost Calculator tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Grain Storage Cost Calculator tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Grain Storage Cost Calculator Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Grain Storage Cost Calculator tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
