How to Use the ThePDFMaker MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I check if ThePDFMaker is ready for my OpenAI Agents SDK deployment?

Just run getapistatus. This tells your agent immediately if the MCP Server is connected and running smoothly. It's a quick, non-disruptive check that confirms connectivity before you start heavy document generation.

Q: Can I automate template updates with ThePDFMaker and OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yep. You can set up a createwebhook endpoint via the MCP Server. This means when a PDF is generated, or perhaps deleted, your agent gets an instant notification instead of having to constantly poll for status.

Q: If I need to list all available templates for ThePDFMaker and OpenAI Agents SDK?

Use the listpdftemplates tool. It pulls every template ID and detail the MCP Server knows about, letting you build out your agent's initial configuration.

Q: Is there a way to see past generations using ThePDFMaker and OpenAI Agents SDK?

Absolutely. listrecentpdfs gives you a list of document generation attempts, letting you quickly audit or debug recent runs without needing complex database queries.

Generate PDFs for your AI client.

Need to turn structured data into an invoice or report? Call `generate_pdf`. You pass a template ID and the required user data, and the MCP Server handles the rest. It returns a job ID that you can then poll using `get_pdf_status` until the final document link is ready. This process works with branded output by reading templates defined via `list_pdf_templates`. If your system needs to generate high volumes of documents, check `get_credit_balance` first. It keeps your production agents from failing due to unexpected cost overruns.

Manage document assets for OpenAI Agents SDK.

Your agent might need supporting files—like logos or specific imagery. Use `list_asset_files` to see what's already uploaded, and then you can pass those asset IDs into your template calls. The MCP Server also lets you set up continuous updates by calling `create_webhook`. This ensures that when a document is ready, your agent gets immediately notified. Don't forget about the source data itself. You can use `list_recent_pdfs` to verify what documents were generated in the last few runs. It’s good for debugging or auditing an automated pipeline.

Maintain and audit templates via MCP Server.

When a department updates its standard report format, you don't want your agent to break. Use `list_pdf_templates` to see every available template ID. If a template is retired or changed entirely, call `delete_pdf_template` directly. This keeps the namespace clean and prevents agents from trying to render outdated formats. For full visibility into account usage, run `get_user_profile`. It pulls core account info that your agent needs before it attempts any document generation calls. You'll know exactly where you stand with ThePDFMaker.

Setup guide

Set up ThePDFMaker 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 ThePDFMaker tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
