How to Use the PDFMonkey MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can an OpenAI Agents SDK agent handle high-volume PDFMonkey builds?

Yes. Because generatepdf is asynchronous, your agent triggers the build and immediately moves to other tasks. It can poll checkpdfstatus later without blocking the main agent execution loop.

Q: How does PDFMonkey manage workspace switching in OpenAI Agents SDK?

Your agent uses listworkspaces to discover available environments, then targets specific ones using getworkspace. This lets your agent route document generation to the correct team environment.

Q: Can I retrieve the direct download link for a generated file?

Yes, use getpdfdetails once the generation status is marked as success. This tool returns the direct download URL for the generated document.

Automate raw JSON to PDF rendering

The `generate_pdf` tool lets your agent send structured JSON payloads straight to your templates. Your OpenAI Agents SDK pipeline hands off raw data directly to the document builder, avoiding manual HTML compilation altogether. Once triggered, use `check_pdf_status` to monitor the asynchronous build progress. This keeps your Python agent execution thread light while the server handles the CPU-heavy layout processing.

Manage templates via OpenAI Agents SDK

The `list_templates` tool lets your agent inspect active layout structures directly from your Python runtime. Instead of hardcoding template IDs, your agent queries the MCP server dynamically to select the correct design. After selecting a template, the agent calls `get_template` to pull down specific schema requirements. This ensures the payload matches the design structure before triggering a build.

Track and update document lifecycles

The `list_generated_documents` tool allows your agent to audit what has already been built. If an invoice needs correction, the agent triggers `update_document` to modify metadata or `regenerate_document` to rebuild the file. For storage cleanup, the agent invokes `delete_generated_pdf` to purge old documents. This keeps your storage footprint within limits while maintaining a clean generation log.

Setup guide

Set up PDFMonkey 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 PDFMonkey tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate PDFMonkey 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="PDFMonkey Agent",
            instructions="You have access to PDFMonkey tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
