Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Interactive workflow to set up OpenAI Agents SDK with You.com's MCP server.
Ask: Language Choice Python or TypeScript? Ask: MCP Configuration Type Hosted MCP (OpenAI-managed with server URL): Recommended for simplicity Streamable HTTP (Self-managed connection): For custom infrastructure Install Package Python: pip install openai-agents TypeScript: npm install @openai/agents Ask: Environment Variables For Both Modes: YDC_API_KEY (You.com API key for Bearer token) OPENAI_API_KEY (OpenAI API key) Have they set them? If NO: Guide to get keys: YDC_API_KEY: https://you.com/platform/api-keys OPENAI_API_KEY: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys Ask: File Location NEW file: Ask where to create and what to name EXISTING file: Ask which file to integrate into (add MCP config) Create/Update File For NEW files: Use the complete template code from the "Complete Templates" section below User can run immediately with their API keys set For EXISTING files: Add MCP server configuration to their existing code Hosted MCP configuration block (Python): from agents import Agent, Runner from agents.mcp import HostedMCPTool # Validate: ydc_api_key = os.getenv("YDC_API_KEY") agent = Agent( name="Assistant", instructions="Use You.com tools to answer questions.", tools=[ HostedMCPTool( tool_config={ "type": "mcp", "server_label": "ydc", "server_url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": f"Bearer {ydc_api_key}" }, "require_approval": "never", } ) ], ) Hosted MCP configuration block (TypeScript): import { Agent, hostedMcpTool } from '@openai/agents'; // Validate: const ydcApiKey = process.env.YDC_API_KEY; const agent = new Agent({ name: 'Assistant', instructions: 'Use You.com tools to answer questions.', tools: [ hostedMcpTool({ serverLabel: 'ydc', serverUrl: 'https://api.you.com/mcp', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${ydcApiKey}`, }, }), ], }); Streamable HTTP configuration block (Python): from agents import Agent, Runner from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp # Validate: ydc_api_key = os.getenv("YDC_API_KEY") async with MCPServerStreamableHttp( name="You.com MCP Server", params={ "url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {ydc_api_key}"}, "timeout": 10, }, cache_tools_list=True, max_retry_attempts=3, ) as server: agent = Agent( name="Assistant", instructions="Use You.com tools to answer questions.", mcp_servers=[server], ) Streamable HTTP configuration block (TypeScript): import { Agent, MCPServerStreamableHttp } from '@openai/agents'; // Validate: const ydcApiKey = process.env.YDC_API_KEY; const mcpServer = new MCPServerStreamableHttp({ url: 'https://api.you.com/mcp', name: 'You.com MCP Server', requestInit: { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${ydcApiKey}`, }, }, }); const agent = new Agent({ name: 'Assistant', instructions: 'Use You.com tools to answer questions.', mcpServers: [mcpServer], });
Use these complete templates for new files. Each template is ready to run with your API keys set.

What it is: OpenAI manages the MCP connection and tool routing through their Responses API. Benefits: โ Simpler configuration (no connection management) โ OpenAI handles authentication and retries โ Lower latency (tools run in OpenAI infrastructure) โ Automatic tool discovery and listing โ No need to manage async context or cleanup Use when: Building production applications Want minimal boilerplate code Need reliable tool execution Don't require custom transport layer Configuration: Python: from agents.mcp import HostedMCPTool tools=[ HostedMCPTool( tool_config={ "type": "mcp", "server_label": "ydc", "server_url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['YDC_API_KEY']}" }, "require_approval": "never", } ) ] TypeScript: import { hostedMcpTool } from '@openai/agents'; tools: [ hostedMcpTool({ serverLabel: 'ydc', serverUrl: 'https://api.you.com/mcp', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.YDC_API_KEY}`, }, }), ]
What it is: You manage the MCP connection and transport layer yourself. Benefits: โ Full control over network connection โ Custom infrastructure integration โ Can add custom headers, timeouts, retry logic โ Run MCP server in your own environment โ Better for testing and development Use when: Need custom transport configuration Running MCP server in your infrastructure Require specific networking setup Development and testing scenarios Configuration: Python: from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp async with MCPServerStreamableHttp( name="You.com MCP Server", params={ "url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['YDC_API_KEY']}"}, "timeout": 10, }, cache_tools_list=True, max_retry_attempts=3, ) as server: agent = Agent(mcp_servers=[server]) TypeScript: import { MCPServerStreamableHttp } from '@openai/agents'; const mcpServer = new MCPServerStreamableHttp({ url: 'https://api.you.com/mcp', name: 'You.com MCP Server', requestInit: { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.YDC_API_KEY}`, }, }, }); await mcpServer.connect(); try { const agent = new Agent({ mcpServers: [mcpServer] }); // Use agent } finally { await mcpServer.close(); }
After configuration, agents can discover and use: mcp__ydc__you_search - Web and news search mcp__ydc__you_express - AI-powered answers with web context mcp__ydc__you_contents - Web page content extraction
Both API keys are required for both configuration modes: # Add to your .env file or shell profile export YDC_API_KEY="your-you-api-key-here" export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key-here" Get your API keys: You.com: https://you.com/platform/api-keys OpenAI: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
Before completing: Package installed: openai-agents (Python) or @openai/agents (TypeScript) Environment variables set: YDC_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY Template copied or configuration added to existing file MCP configuration type chosen (Hosted or Streamable HTTP) Authorization headers configured with Bearer token File is executable (Python) or can be compiled (TypeScript) Ready to test with example query
Python: python your-file.py TypeScript: # With tsx (recommended for quick testing) npx tsx your-file.ts # Or compile and run tsc your-file.ts && node your-file.js
Install the package: # NPM npm install @openai/agents # Bun bun add @openai/agents # Yarn yarn add @openai/agents # pnpm pnpm add @openai/agents Set your You.com API key: export YDC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Get your key at: https://you.com/platform/api-keys Set your OpenAI API key: export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Get your key at: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys Verify your YDC_API_KEY is valid: Check the key at https://you.com/platform/api-keys Ensure no extra spaces or quotes in the environment variable Verify the Authorization header format: Bearer ${YDC_API_KEY} For Both Modes: Ensure server_url: "https://api.you.com/mcp" is correct Verify Authorization header includes Bearer prefix Check YDC_API_KEY environment variable is set Confirm require_approval is set to "never" for automatic execution For Streamable HTTP specifically: Ensure MCP server is connected before creating agent Verify connection was successful before running agent For Streamable HTTP only: Increase timeout or retry attempts: Python: async with MCPServerStreamableHttp( params={ "url": "https://api.you.com/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['YDC_API_KEY']}"}, "timeout": 30, # Increased timeout }, max_retry_attempts=5, # More retries ) as server: # ... TypeScript: const mcpServer = new MCPServerStreamableHttp({ url: 'https://api.you.com/mcp', requestInit: { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.YDC_API_KEY}` }, // Add custom timeout via fetch options }, });
