How to Use the TaxBandits MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How does TaxBandits work with OpenAI Agents SDK?

The MCP Server exposes tools like listtaxforms directly to your agent. You don't write custom API calls; you just tell the agent what job needs doing, and it handles the connection flow for you.

Q: What happens if I need to check a tax form list with TaxBandits and OpenAI Agents SDK?

You call listtaxforms, passing filters as a JSON string. The agent returns structured data showing exactly which forms are available for that specific client, making the next step easy.

Q: Can TaxBandits handle multiple state regulations using OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes. You can run listtransmissions to see a history of filings across different states and form types (W-2, ACA). The server manages the varied requirements for you.

Manage Business Records via MCP Server

The `list_businesses` tool gives your agent a clean roster of every business entity registered. You can also use `get_business_details` to pull specific data points, like an EIN or operating address, for any given company. It's great because you don't have to manually query multiple databases just to confirm client status. Your agent handles it all in one sequence, and the full trace logs show exactly where the info came from.

Track Form Submissions with OpenAI Agents SDK

Need to know if that 1099 form actually got through? The `get_submission_status` tool checks the live status of any tax filing. Better yet, use `list_transmissions` to get a historical record of all forms sent. This saves you from chasing down emails and phone calls. Your agent confirms if IRS-authorized e-filing succeeded or what needs fixing before you even talk to a human.

Set Up New Entities with the MCP Server

Use `create_business` when you onboard a new client. You just pass in a JSON string with all their initial details, and the system handles setting up the record. This is your starting point for any workflow. After creating the entity, you can immediately call `get_business_details` to validate that everything was recorded correctly before moving on.

Setup guide

Set up TaxBandits 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 TaxBandits tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
