How to Use the Arcadia Utility Cloud MCP in CrewAI

Q: How can I use the Arcadia Utility Cloud tools with my CrewAI agents?

The simplest way is to add your Vinkius MCP URL to the mcps parameter when defining an Agent. CrewAI will automatically fetch the tools and make them available to that agent.

Q: How do I limit which Arcadia Utility Cloud tools a specific CrewAI agent can use?

For fine-grained control, use the MCPServerHTTP class from crewai.mcp. It has a toolfilter parameter that lets you provide a list of tool names you want to expose to that agent.

Q: What's the best way to set up a monitoring workflow for Arcadia Utility Cloud with CrewAI?

Create a sequential crew. The first agent's task is to use liststatements to check for new bills. Its output—a list of new statement IDs—becomes the input for the second agent, which then uses getstatement to process each one.

Deploy a crew of AI agents to manage your Arcadia Utility Cloud data. Automate monitoring, analysis, and reporting with CrewAI.

Create a Utility Data Analysis Team

Go beyond single-agent tasks. With CrewAI, you can assign roles. One agent's job is to use `list_accounts` and `list_meters` from this MCP server to discover all available assets in Arcadia Utility Cloud. It's the "Researcher." A second "Analyst" agent takes that list, calls `get_meter_data` for each meter, and identifies consumption anomalies. A third "Reporter" agent then takes the analyst's findings and summarizes them. They work together, sharing context automatically.

Autonomous Account Monitoring

Build a fully autonomous system to watch over your utility accounts. You can have a crew that runs 24/7. One agent periodically calls `list_statements` to check for new bills. When a new bill appears, it passes the ID to another agent whose sole job is to call `get_statement`, extract the due date and amount, and add it to a payment-due database. No human needs to be involved. This is what this MCP Server enables.

Granular Tool Control for Your Crew

CrewAI's integration lets you decide which agents get which tools. You might give a "Read-Only" agent access to just the `list_*` and `get_*` tools from this server. This prevents it from taking actions it shouldn't. For a quick start, just pass the Vinkius URL into the agent's `mcps` list. For more control, use `MCPServerHTTP` and a `tool_filter` to expose specific tools like `get_meter_data` to only the agents that need it.

Setup guide

Set up Arcadia Utility Cloud 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 Utility Cloud tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Arcadia Utility Cloud MCP in CrewAI

The simplest way is to add your Vinkius MCP URL to the `mcps` parameter when defining an Agent. CrewAI will automatically fetch the tools and make them available to that agent.

Yes, that's the core idea of CrewAI. You'd create a "Finder" agent with access to `list_meters` and an "Analyzer" agent with access to `get_meter_data`. They can pass the list of meters between each other as part of a task sequence.

For fine-grained control, use the `MCPServerHTTP` class from `crewai.mcp`. It has a `tool_filter` parameter that lets you provide a list of tool names you want to expose to that agent.

Create a sequential crew. The first agent's task is to use `list_statements` to check for new bills. Its output—a list of new statement IDs—becomes the input for the second agent, which then uses `get_statement` to process each one.

Yes, your data's privacy is protected. The Vinkius platform uses zero-trust, ephemeral sandboxes for every tool execution. Your sensitive utility data—like account details and consumption history—is passed through an encrypted connection and is never logged or stored.
