How do I install the openai mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `OPENAI_API_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Openai MCP Server?

MCP server for OpenAI Agents SDK documentation

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides documentation for the OpenAI Agents SDK by extracting and indexing content from the official documentation website: https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/

This project provides both a standalone CLI tool and an MCP server that allows LLMs to access and query the OpenAI Agents SDK documentation intelligently.
