About 4D MCP Server
Bridge your 4D Server with the world of AI Agents through the power of ORDA (Object Relational Data Architecture). This integration transforms your 4D database into an intelligent, queryable knowledge base, allowing your AI agent to explore structures and manage records through natural conversation. No more manual REST calls; your agent can now audit catalogs, run complex entity queries, and perform high-speed CRUD operations, ensuring your 4D data is always accessible and actionable within your AI workflows.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use 4D tools. Connect 6 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Database Exploration — Retrieve the full catalog of DataClasses (tables) and their attribute definitions (fields) to map your data structure.
- Advanced Querying — Perform complex data lookups using filters, ordering, and expansion of related entities with ORDA syntax.
- CRUD Operations — Create, read, update, and delete records across any exposed DataClass in your 4D environment.
- Metadata Insights — Check server information, version, and database structure on the fly to ensure system integrity.
- Structured Access — Interact with your data using the modern ORDA model, ensuring consistency, type safety, and security.
The 4D MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use AutoGen with the 4D MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with 4D through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use 4D tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign 4D tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive 4D tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes 4D tool responses in an isolated environment
4D + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the 4D MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries 4D while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from 4D, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using 4D data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process 4D responses in a sandboxed execution environment
4D MCP Tools for AutoGen (6)
These 6 tools become available when you connect 4D to AutoGen via MCP:
create_entity
Requires a JSON string representation of the data payload. Create a new record in the database
delete_entity
Delete a record from the database
get_catalog
Retrieve the database catalog definition
get_entity
Get a specific record by primary key
list_entities
Supports ORDA-style query parameters like $filter and $orderby for advanced lookups. Query records from a specific DataClass (table)
update_entity
Requires a JSON string payload. Update an existing record in the database
Example Prompts for 4D in AutoGen
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your AutoGen agent to start working with 4D immediately.
"Show me the first 5 records from the 'Invoices' table."
"What tables (DataClasses) are exposed in my 4D catalog?"
"Create a new record in the 'Customers' table for 'John Doe' with email 'john@example.com'."
