How to Use the Arcadia Plug MCP in AutoGen
Run multi-agent debates over utility bills and meter data using Arcadia Plug in AutoGen.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Arcadia Plug MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Arcadia Plug 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.
Multi-Agent Utility Audits with Arcadia Plug MCP Server
Executing `list_statements` allows your financial auditor agent to fetch billing records while a sustainability agent analyzes carbon footprints. These AutoGen agents debate the discrepancies in your energy usage before presenting a unified report. This setup ensures no single agent goes rogue with bad data. They cross-reference raw statement details to catch billing errors that would slip past a lone agent.
Verify Utility Access via AutoGen Debates
Running `get_account_check` lets your system administrator agent verify connection status while a data harvester agent waits to pull meter readings. If the check fails, the admin agent alerts the group to halt execution. This consensus mechanism prevents broken API calls from wasting your LLM budget. Your agents resolve connection issues internally over the MCP link before proceeding with data collection.
Coordinate Meter and Account Mapping
Querying physical hardware via `list_meters` retrieves data that your hardware specialist agent compares against the account list from `list_accounts`. A third coordinator agent verifies that every meter maps to an active account. Through AutoGen's conversational patterns, the agents hash out mapping mismatches until they agree. You get a clean, validated inventory list without writing manual reconciliation scripts.
Set up Arcadia Plug 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 Arcadia Plug 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="Arcadia Plug_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Arcadia Plug 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="Arcadia Plug_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Arcadia Plug data")
