How to Use the 4YouSee MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I filter 4YouSee tools for CrewAI?

Use the toolfilter option in your MCP configuration. This prevents agents from accessing tools they don't actually need for their role.

Autonomous player monitoring for CrewAI

Assign a dedicated monitor agent to call `get_player` repeatedly. It keeps tabs on your network health while your other agents handle content creation. This setup allows the crew to react to failures without manual intervention. The agents share memory, so one agent knows what the other discovered.

Content coordination with CrewAI

Use `list_medias` and `list_templates` to let your research agent find unused assets. It then passes these to the design agent for final review. This collaborative process happens entirely within your agent team. They exchange findings until they reach a decision on what to display.

Scaling signage ops via CrewAI

Your crew can run `list_users` to generate reports on who is modifying content. It aggregates this data for your admin agent to audit. This removes the need for you to dig through logs manually. The agents do the heavy lifting of parsing the platform data.

Setup guide

Set up 4YouSee MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke 4YouSee tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="4YouSee Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze 4YouSee data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct 4YouSee access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent 4YouSee transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="4YouSee Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze 4YouSee data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct 4YouSee access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent 4YouSee transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)

Common questions about 4YouSee MCP in CrewAI

Yes, simply include the server URL in your agent configuration. Your crew will immediately recognize the tools as part of their available skills.

It fits perfectly. You can assign the tools to a specific worker agent while the manager agent oversees the entire signage project.
