How to Use the Anura MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I connect the Anura MCP Server to a CrewAI agent?

You can pass the Vinkius URL directly into the agent's mcps list during initialization. For more advanced setups, use MCPServerHTTP from the crewai.mcp module.

Q: Can I limit which CrewAI agents have access to getsystemstatus?

Yes, you can use the toolfilter option in CrewAI to expose the tool only to specific agents. This prevents your content or research agents from accidentally triggering security checks.

Multi-Agent Security Monitoring

The `get_system_status` tool allows your CrewAI security team to monitor your ad fraud detection pipeline autonomously. A dedicated monitor agent can run this tool to check the status of the Anura API, while a separate moderator agent takes action if an outage is detected. This division of labor keeps your operations running without human intervention. The agents share memory and context, allowing them to coordinate complex responses when fraud checks are compromised.

Granular Tool Filtering with CrewAI

When setting up your CrewAI agents, you can use `MCPServerHTTP` and `tool_filter` to restrict which agents can access the `get_system_status` tool. This ensures only your specialized security agent can query the MCP Server, keeping your operational boundaries clean. Restricting tool access prevents unrelated agents from wasting execution tokens on system checks. Your workflow remains highly optimized because only the designated monitor agent handles the API communication.

Autonomous Escalation Protocols

If the `get_system_status` tool reports that the Anura platform is unreachable, your CrewAI agents can trigger a hierarchical escalation. The monitoring agent passes the failure log to an admin agent, which can autonomously redirect your ad spend to safe channels. This level of automation protects your ad budget from click bots during unexpected outages. Your agents work in tandem to mitigate risks before your team even notices the connection drop.

Setup guide

Set up Anura MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Anura tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Anura Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Anura data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Anura access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Anura transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Anura Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Anura data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Anura access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Anura transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
