How to Use the Timeero MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK pull Timeero GPS data automatically?

Yes. Once connected, your agent uses gettimeerotimesheet to fetch location data for any shift. It then validates this data against your custom guardrails.

Q: Does this MCP server support custom Timeero task lists?

It does. You can use listtimeerotasks to pull active tasks and feed them into your agent's decision-making logic.

Q: What happens if Timeero goes down during an agent run?

Your agent can call checktimeerostatus to detect outages. It then handles the failure gracefully based on the logic you define in your agent's handler.

Bring GPS-verified field data into your OpenAI Agents SDK workflow to automate payroll and tracking without the manual heavy lifting.

Full visibility into field operations

Your agent pulls real-time data directly from your Timeero account. By calling `list_timeero_timesheets` and `list_timeero_jobs`, the agent sees exactly where your field staff clocked in and what they worked on. Stop guessing about labor costs. Use `get_timeero_timesheet` to pull precise GPS coordinates for every entry, ensuring your payroll records match reality before they hit your accounting system.

Manage schedules and tasks programmatically

Connect your agent to `list_timeero_schedules` to see upcoming shifts across your entire team. It handles the heavy lifting of parsing complex rosters so you can focus on resource allocation. When you need to update individual assignments, use `get_timeero_task` or `list_timeero_tasks` to verify status. Your agent validates these details against your existing constraints to prevent scheduling conflicts before they happen.

Verify system status and user data

Don't let API issues blindside your agent. Use `check_timeero_status` to confirm the connection is live before initiating payroll runs or bulk data syncs. Keep your personnel records current by calling `list_timeero_users` or `get_timeero_user`. This ensures your agent is always working with the correct employee IDs and contact information during automated reporting cycles.

Setup guide

Set up Timeero 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 Timeero tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())
