How to Use the AirVisual MCP in AutoGen
Give your AutoGen agents this MCP Server to debate real-time global air quality.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect AirVisual MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect AirVisual 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.
Equip AutoGen MCP Server Teams
AirVisual feeds live atmospheric readings directly into your multi-agent debates. A data-gathering agent runs `get_city_data` to pull the raw AQI numbers before passing them to an analysis agent for interpretation. Different agents take different approaches to the same environmental problem. One might use `get_nearest_city_by_ip` for quick local context, while another challenges that finding by pulling exact coordinates.
Debate Pollution Metrics
Your agents argue over the severity of weather conditions using hard data. A health-focused agent flags high PM2.5 levels from `get_station_data`, while a logistics agent argues the wind patterns remain safe for transport. Consensus emerges from verifiable API calls rather than assumed conditions. The team cross-references regional data using `list_states` and `list_cities` until they agree on a final recommendation.
Automate Spatial Verification
Agents independently verify location data before making decisions. If a user reports poor air quality, a verification agent executes `get_nearest_city_by_coords` to confirm the exact local readings. The conversation naturally routes through the geographic hierarchy. An agent tasked with a global report will methodically loop through `list_countries` to assign regional analysis tasks to its peers.
Set up AirVisual 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 AirVisual 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="AirVisual_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent AirVisual 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="AirVisual_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent AirVisual data")
