CrewAI Agents and Arcadia Plug

Assign a researcher agent to `list_meters` while a financial analyst agent processes `get_statement` data. CrewAI manages the collaboration so your agents share findings to solve complex utility queries. This multi-agent setup turns raw data into actionable reports. The agents handle the heavy lifting while you just monitor the output.

Autonomous Utility Monitoring with CrewAI

Set up a monitor agent to watch your accounts using `get_account_check`. When a connection drops, the crew automatically alerts the maintenance agent to re-authenticate. You build a self-healing utility management loop. The agents handle the maintenance so you do not have to check the dashboard yourself.

Scalable Data Access for CrewAI

Pass the Arcadia Plug tools to your agents to scale your data gathering. The agents independently call `list_accounts` to audit every utility connection in your organization. This keeps your data organized as you add more utility providers. The agents update their internal knowledge base every time they run a tool call.

Setup guide

Set up Arcadia Plug 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 Arcadia Plug tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent Arcadia Plug 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="Arcadia Plug Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Arcadia Plug data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Arcadia Plug access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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