About Affinda MCP Server
Connect your Affinda account to your AI agent to unlock powerful intelligent document processing (IDP). From automatically extracting details from resumes and invoices to auditing document statuses across your workspaces, your agent handles structured data extraction through natural conversation.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Affinda tools. Connect 5 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
- Automated Document Parsing — Upload PDFs or images of resumes, invoices, and passports for high-accuracy JSON extraction
- Workspace Oversight — List and audit documents within your specific workspaces to maintain organizational control
- Extraction Model Management — List available document types (Resume, Invoice, Receipt, etc.) supported by your account
- Real-time Status Tracking — Retrieve the parsing status and technical metadata for any uploaded document
- Metadata Insights — Quickly identify processing errors or missing data across your document library directly from chat
The Affinda MCP Server exposes 5 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 Affinda MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with Affinda through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Affinda tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign Affinda 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 Affinda tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Affinda tool responses in an isolated environment
Affinda + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the Affinda MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries Affinda while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from Affinda, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using Affinda data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process Affinda responses in a sandboxed execution environment
