Platform Integration Examples

OpenAI Agents SDK (HTTP Transport)

from agents import Agent
from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp

# Start the server first:

server = MCPServerStreamableHttp(
    url="http://localhost:3100/mcp",
    name="creedspace"
)

agent = Agent(
    name="safe-agent",
    tools=[server.get_tools()]
)

# The agent now has access to Creed Space safety tools
