How to Use the Aconex MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the Aconex MCP Server with AutoGen?

Install autogen-extmcp and use the MCP tool adapter with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass the resolved Aconex tools directly to your AssistantAgent constructor.

Q: Can AutoGen handle Aconex user status updates autonomously?

Yes, an AutoGen admin agent can call updateuserstatus after a security agent flags a compliance violation. The agents deliberate on the user's role before executing the Aconex API call.

Resolve Aconex project setup debates and automate user invitations using AutoGen multi-agent negotiation.

Resolve Project Setup Debates with AutoGen

The `copy_project` tool executes only after your AutoGen agents agree on the correct configuration. An AutoGen project manager agent proposes a template, a compliance agent checks the setup, and they execute the Aconex clone once consensus is reached. This multi-agent negotiation prevents incorrect Aconex project settings from propagating. You build an AutoGen system that double-checks its own parameters before making any changes.

Negotiated Onboarding Workflows

The `create_user` tool triggers when your AutoGen onboarding agents confirm a new hire's credentials. An AutoGen HR agent verifies the background, while a security agent uses `search_global_directory` to ensure no duplicate Aconex accounts exist. Once both AutoGen agents approve, the system requires the Aconex MCP to execute `invite_user_to_project` to grant access. This eliminates human errors in user provisioning by requiring programmatic consensus.

Automated Status Auditing

The `update_user_status` tool allows your AutoGen agents to disable inactive accounts automatically. An AutoGen monitoring agent reviews user activity, flags dormant profiles, and debates with a security agent before changing status. The entire AutoGen conversation is logged, providing a clear audit trail of why an Aconex user was disabled. This programmatic oversight keeps your user directory clean and secure.

Setup guide

Set up Aconex 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 includes mcp_server_tools for 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 AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Aconex tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

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="Aconex_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Aconex 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. McpWorkbench is 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=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

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="Aconex_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Aconex data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Aconex MCP in AutoGen

Install `autogen-ext[mcp]` and use the MCP tool adapter with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass the resolved Aconex tools directly to your `AssistantAgent` constructor.

One AutoGen agent proposes a group name, while a second agent calls `search_project_directory` to check for conflicts. They debate the name before calling `create_mailing_group` in Aconex.

Yes, an AutoGen admin agent can call `update_user_status` after a security agent flags a compliance violation. The agents deliberate on the user's role before executing the Aconex API call.

Yes, the MCP server adapter handles both stdio and HTTP transports for AutoGen. You can run the server locally or host it on Vinkius and connect via secure endpoints.

The integration uses credential-free execution tokens, isolating each AutoGen agent's environment inside an ephemeral V8 sandbox. Your Aconex mailing group lists and user records are never exposed to external networks during agent debates.
