SMS and voice dispatch via OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent initiates text-based outreach using `send_sms_message` to send notifications to customers. It handles inbound responses by querying `list_received_sms_replies` to route customer replies back into your database. For spoken notifications, the agent triggers `send_tts_voice_call` using pre-saved formats retrieved via `list_message_templates` to ensure brand consistency. The SDK's built-in guardrails validate these voice scripts before dialing, preventing compliance errors.

Send faxes and track delivery via MCP Server

The `send_digital_fax` tool transmits documents directly from your agent to legacy hardware over this secure MCP link. The agent then calls `get_message_delivery_status` to confirm receipt or catch transmission failures. To keep costs under control, your agent monitors `get_messaging_usage_report` to track outbound volume. It also checks `get_account_balance` to warn your team when prepaid credits run low.

Contact directory syncing and system checks

Your agent keeps your CRM updated by executing `create_tnz_contact` whenever a new user registers. It retrieves existing customer records using `list_tnz_contacts` to prevent duplicate entries. The agent filters recipients using `list_contact_groups` to send targeted broadcasts. Before initiating any batch, it calls `check_api_health` to verify that the TNZ endpoint is active and ready.

Setup guide

Set up TNZ Communications 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 TNZ Communications tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

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

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about TNZ Communications MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

The OpenAI Agents SDK manages rate limits by queuing requests automatically when interacting with TNZ Communications. If the gateway signals a temporary hold, the SDK back-off logic retries the call to prevent dropped alerts.

Yes. You can assign the TNZ Communications tools to a specialized notification agent. When your primary OpenAI Agents SDK agent decides a text or voice call is needed, it hands off the task to the communication agent.

You store your TNZ Communications API token in your environment variables. The OpenAI Agents SDK accesses it securely through the Vinkius managed server, keeping your credentials hidden from the raw LLM context.

Yes. This MCP Server exposes tools that allow your agent to poll for delivery updates on demand. This lets you build asynchronous loops where your agent checks back later to verify delivery.

Vinkius runs this MCP Server in an isolated sandbox. Your phone numbers and SMS text content are sent directly to the gateway over encrypted TLS, and no message payloads are stored on our servers after transmission.
