How to Use the Apperio MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do my AutoGen agents access the Apperio MCP Server?

You register the server tools using the mcpservertools adapter. This automatically translates the Apperio schemas so your AutoGen agents can call them during their conversations.

Q: Can I have one AutoGen agent audit an Apperio invoice and another approve it?

Yes. You can set up a compliance agent to run getinvoicedetails and a finance manager agent with exclusive permission to execute approveinvoice once the audit agent gives the green light.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle conflicting data from Apperio?

If listinvoices shows a mismatch with a matter header, your agents will debate the discrepancy in their chat thread, using getmatterheader to resolve the conflict before proceeding.

Multi-Agent Legal Spend Auditing in AutoGen

Deploy this MCP Server to let specialized agents debate your legal billing. One agent can focus on budget compliance by reading `get_matter_header`, while another inspects line items using `get_invoice_details`. They debate the validity of the charges before making a final decision. This consensus-driven approach ensures no invoice is approved blindly. Once both agents agree that a bill meets corporate policy guidelines, they trigger `approve_invoice` to complete the workflow.

Collaborative Matter Tagging and Organization

Use a multi-agent conversation to keep your legal matters organized. An archiving agent scans untagged items with `list_matters`, while a taxonomy agent checks the legal guidelines using `list_matter_tags`. They negotiate the best classification for each matter. Once they reach a consensus, the archiving agent executes `tag_matter` to apply the verified tags. This eliminates human error and ensures your legal department's organization remains consistent.

Automated Invoice Dispute and Negotiation

When an invoice fails auditing, your AutoGen agents handle the resolution strategy. A policy agent flags the violations from `get_invoice_approval_workflow`, and a drafting agent writes the dispute reason. Together, they execute `reject_invoice` with a detailed explanation. This collaborative process ensures your disputes are backed by solid data. The agents work together to cross-reference past approvals, ensuring your legal spend is managed with full corporate compliance.

Setup guide

Set up Apperio 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 Apperio 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="Apperio_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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