Perplexity

Debate with Anthropic Alternative tools

Let your agents use `send_message` to challenge each other's assumptions. Since the tools are exposed to the entire group, they can reach a consensus based on real API data. It forces your agents to back up their claims with facts from the Claude model. You get better decisions because the agents have to argue their points.

Batch processing for AutoGen teams

Use `create_batch_message` when your agents need to perform bulk analysis. It prevents the team from bottlenecking on single-threaded API requests. Your agents can trigger a batch and then switch to other tasks while waiting. It makes your multi-agent system much faster and more responsive.

Get model status in AutoGen

Use `get_batch_message` to let your agents report on their progress. If a task fails or hangs, the agents can react and try a different strategy. This visibility allows your system to be self-correcting. You stop babysitting the process and let the agents handle the recovery flow.

Setup guide

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

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

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