How to Use the Aha! MCP in AutoGen
Let AutoGen agents debate and manage your Aha! product strategy.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Aha! MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Aha! 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.
Aha! MCP Server for multi-agent triage
The `list_ideas` tool feeds raw product concepts from the MCP server to a panel of AutoGen agents. A customer success agent advocates for user requests while an engineering agent argues about technical debt. They debate the merits of each idea based on the actual text pulled from your backlog. Once the agents reach a consensus, the system uses `create_idea` to formalize the approved concept. You watch them negotiate priority levels before anything gets committed to the roadmap. The deliberation replaces hours of manual sprint planning meetings.
Audit feature requirements through debate
Calling `get_feature` allows your security and performance agents to inspect specific product requirements in Aha!. The security agent scans the acceptance criteria for vulnerabilities. Simultaneously, the performance agent checks for potential latency issues. If either agent finds a flaw, they challenge the current spec and propose amendments. They pull broader context using `list_features` to see if similar items share the same flaw. You get a fully vetted feature definition before a developer writes a single line of code.
Negotiate release timelines
Executing `list_releases` gives your AutoGen system the hard deadlines for upcoming launches. A project management agent reviews these dates and cross-references them against the active workload. If the schedule looks impossible, it alerts the rest of the agent swarm. The group then discusses which items to cut to meet the deadline. They review the active backlog and negotiate a revised scope based on the API data. You receive a realistic, debated release plan instead of a blind guess.
Set up Aha! 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 Aha! 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="Aha!_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Aha! 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="Aha!_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Aha! data")
