Automated asset schedule generation

Generate year-by-year depreciation schedules by calling `calculate_depreciation_schedule` within your agent flow. This removes the manual entry step and keeps your financial data consistent. The OpenAI Agents SDK handles the execution context, ensuring each calculation stays within your defined safety constraints. You get reliable outputs for every asset record.

Compare complex tax strategies

Run `calculate_expensing_impact` to weigh Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation against standard MACRS rules. This tool gives you the hard numbers needed to support your tax planning advice. Your agent parses these results instantly to provide side-by-side comparisons. It turns raw tax code into actionable figures for your client reports.

Lookup asset class details

Use `get_asset_class_info` to retrieve recovery periods and conventions for specific property types like vehicles or commercial real estate. You avoid common classification errors by pulling directly from the source. This MCP integrates into your agent logic with zero configuration. It keeps your system updated with the latest IRS property classifications without manual lookups.

Set up US Depreciation Calculator 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.

Create your Agent

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

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