Lob MCP Integration for OpenAI Agents SDK
Connect Lob to OpenAI Agents SDK through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect Lob 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.
Lob MCP Config for OpenAI Agents SDK
Use headless JSON commands for CI-style execution and MCP for agent tool discovery.

Expose only Lob instead of a broad multi-service tool list.
Reuse credentials already configured for the KosmoKrator CLI and Lua runtime.
Start read-only, then opt into ask or allow for trusted workspaces.
