FreshBooks MCP Integration for OpenAI Agents SDK
Connect FreshBooks to OpenAI Agents SDK through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect FreshBooks to OpenAI Agents SDK
Attach KosmoKrator integration tools to OpenAI Agents SDK workflows through a local MCP gateway.
Start the KosmoKrator MCP gateway locally and point the OpenAI Agents SDK MCP tool at that process or wrapper. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so OpenAI Agents can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
