OpenAI adds MCP support to Agents SDK

Model context protocol (MCP) The Model context protocol (aka MCP) is a way to provide tools and context to the LLM. From the MCP docs: MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. The Agents SDK has support for MCP. This enables you to use a wide range of MCP servers to provide tools to your Agents. MCP servers Currently, the MCP spec defines two kinds of servers, based on the transport mechanism they use: stdio servers run as a subprocess of your application. You can think of them as running "locally". HTTP over SSE servers run remotely. You connect to them via a URL. You can use the MCPServerStdio and MCPServerSse classes to connect to these servers. For example, this is how you'd use the offic ... Read full article.
