How to Use the 4YouSee MCP in AutoGen
Build debating AutoGen agents to monitor and manage your 4YouSee signage network.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect 4YouSee MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect 4YouSee to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Multi-agent diagnostics for 4YouSee
Assign `list_players` and `get_player` to a diagnostic agent within your AutoGen swarm. This agent pulls offline screen metrics and proposes a root cause. A secondary operations agent reviews that data and argues for a different fix. They negotiate based on the raw telemetry until they agree on the actual hardware issue.
Debate media schedules via MCP Server
One agent uses `list_medias` to check available video files while another pulls layout constraints via `list_templates`. They compare the assets against your brand guidelines. If a video does not fit the target zone, the agents flag the mismatch. The user gets a deliberated summary of content errors before anything goes live.
Automate security reviews
Give a security-focused agent access to `list_users`. It maps out the current group structures and identifies accounts with excessive permissions. A compliance agent challenges those findings by checking historical access patterns. You watch them deliberate over which accounts actually need their current access levels.
Set up 4YouSee MCP in AutoGen
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
autogen-ext[mcp]package - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install AutoGen with MCP
Run
pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includesmcp_server_toolsfor stateless tool access. - 2
Fetch tools from the MCP
Call
mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...))with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Run your agent
Pass the tools to
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes 4YouSee tools and returns structured results.
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
server_params = SseServerParams(
url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)
agent = AssistantAgent(
name="4YouSee_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent 4YouSee data")
print(result.messages[-1].content) Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
autogen-ext[mcp]+autogen-agentchat - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install dependencies
Same packages as above.
McpWorkbenchis ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls. - 2
Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in
async with McpWorkbench(...)to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle. - 3
Run with workbench
Pass
workbench=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
server_params = SseServerParams(
url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
agent = AssistantAgent(
name="4YouSee_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent 4YouSee data")
