Perplexity

Run consensus-driven market analysis in AutoGen

The `get_news_sentiment` tool provides raw sentiment scores that your AutoGen `AssistantAgent` can debate in a group chat. One AutoGen agent can argue a bullish case while another uses sentiment data to highlight market risks. This MCP Server gives your multi-agent AutoGen conversations access to real-time market opinions through `mcp_server_tools`. AutoGen agents can challenge each other's conclusions using hard sentiment metrics before presenting a final report.

Validate balance sheets via agent debate

The `get_balance_sheet` tool delivers raw financial statements that your AutoGen auditor agent can verify against cash flow reports. The AutoGen agents cross-reference the numbers to find discrepancies. Feeding `get_cash_flow` data into an AutoGen `AssistantAgent` allows for automatic financial audits. Your AutoGen agents review the numbers from different perspectives to ensure the analysis holds up.

Coordinate crypto and fiat trading strategies

The `get_currency_exchange_rate` tool gives your AutoGen currency trading agents real-time forex rates. They can debate arbitrage opportunities in parallel with your AutoGen crypto trading agents. By using `get_digital_currency_daily`, your AutoGen digital asset agents can coordinate with fiat agents to manage portfolio risk. They negotiate trades based on live exchange data within the AutoGen conversation.

Setup guide

Set up Alpha Vantage Alternative 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 Alpha Vantage Alternative 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="Alpha Vantage Alternative_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Alpha Vantage Alternative 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="Alpha Vantage Alternative_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Alpha Vantage Alternative data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
