Validate Core Business Assumptions

The `validate_techstars_acceleration` tool forces your agent to run a deep analysis, checking for mentor leverage, revenue readiness, and network strategy. It prevents you from building in a bubble by forcing critical self-reflection on five business axes.

Force Customer Discovery Discipline

Need to prove market demand? The tool mandates focusing on customer discovery, specifically the key metric of willingness to pay (WTP). Your agent uses `validate_techstars_acceleration` to ensure you've gone past 'nice ideas' and found actual paying users.

Assess Revenue Readiness Discipline

The MCP Server checks for MRR > 0, stopping the dangerous habit of planning to monetize 'later.' Running `validate_techstars_acceleration` forces your agent to prove immediate market pull and validate if free users are actually paying customers.

Setup guide

Set up Techstars Mentor Prover 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 Techstars Mentor Prover tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
