How to Use the AfterShip Tracking MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register AfterShip Tracking tools with AutoGen agents?

Install autogen-extmcp and use the mcpservertools helper to fetch the MCP tool definitions. You can then distribute these tools among your assistant agents.

Q: Can multiple AutoGen agents use AfterShip Tracking at the same time?

Yes. You can assign gettrackingdetails to a support agent and createtracking to a fulfillment agent, allowing them to collaborate on logistics.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle courier detection errors in AfterShip Tracking?

If detectcourier returns multiple potential carriers, your agents can deliberate on the most likely option based on historical shipping patterns before registering.

Deploy AutoGen multi-agent teams that coordinate carrier detection, register shipments, and verify delivery updates.

Perplexity

Multi-agent shipping verification

The `detect_courier` tool identifies the carrier for any raw tracking number. In AutoGen, a logistics agent can run this check and present the results to a supervisor agent for verification. This prevents incorrect carrier assignments before registering a package. The agents debate the format match, reach a consensus, and only then proceed to trigger the registration tool.

Automated tracking registration via MCP Server

The `create_tracking` tool registers new tracking numbers with AfterShip to start active monitoring. Your AutoGen agent team can automate this entire workflow when a new order is fulfilled. A billing agent can flag a paid order, while a shipping agent calls this tool to start tracking. They coordinate through conversational turns to ensure no package is left unmonitored.

Consensus-driven status monitoring

The `get_tracking_details` tool retrieves live location updates and current delivery status. Your support agent uses this data to update the customer-facing communication agent. If a package is delayed, a resolution agent can analyze the tracking details alongside `list_trackings` history to negotiate the best alternative route or refund option.

Setup guide

Set up AfterShip Tracking 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 AfterShip Tracking 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="AfterShip Tracking_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent AfterShip Tracking 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="AfterShip Tracking_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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