How to Use the Alegra MCP in AutoGen
Build multi-agent AutoGen teams that debate and resolve Alegra invoicing, billing, and tax compliance tasks.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Alegra MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Alegra 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.
Resolve billing disputes via AutoGen debate
Coordinate billing dispute resolutions by letting one AutoGen agent run `list_payments` while another checks client terms via `get_contact_details`. Deliberating on these records helps them find discrepancies before taking action. Instead of blindly running a tool, the AutoGen billing agent proposes `create_invoice` and waits for the compliance agent to sign off on the tax rules.
Validate tax compliance with an MCP Server
Check company details using `get_company_info` to satisfy strict Latin American tax regulations inside your AutoGen group chat. One agent checks the customer's tax ID via `list_contacts` while a peer agent validates the corporate profile. The agents must agree on the tax configuration before issuing documents. If there is a mismatch, the AutoGen agents discuss the issue in the chat log before calling `create_contact` to update the record.
Coordinate inventory and estimate updates
Track stock levels via `list_inventory_items` to keep your sales pipeline in sync with your warehouse using AutoGen conversation flows. A warehouse agent tracks stock levels and updates a sales agent when items run low. The sales agent then uses `list_estimates` to find drafts that need adjustment. Because of this AutoGen multi-agent coordination, you never promise inventory you do not have in stock.
Set up Alegra 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 Alegra 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="Alegra_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Alegra 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="Alegra_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Alegra data")
