Perplexity

CrewAI agents analyze Ashby candidates

Assign a researcher agent to use `list_candidates` and `get_candidate_info`. It gathers the data your analysis agent needs to rank applicants. This setup creates a specialized loop. One agent finds the data, and the other processes the candidate qualifications.

Automate Ashby job listings with CrewAI

Your moderator agent calls `list_jobs` to identify roles needing attention. It then uses `get_job_info` to generate reports for the team. This keeps your recruiting efforts synchronized. No human needs to manually check the dashboard for job status updates.

Manage Ashby interviews via CrewAI

Set up a monitor agent to call `list_interviews` periodically. It keeps track of the calendar and flags conflicts to the rest of the crew. The system runs in the background. It surfaces problems only when the agents identify a conflict requiring intervention.

Setup guide

Set up Ashby 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 Ashby tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Ashby MCP in CrewAI

Yes. You define the agents and their tasks, and they invoke the Ashby tools as needed to complete the objective.

Pass your status requirements to the `list_jobs` tool. The agent applies these filters before returning the job list to your crew.

Vinkius uses an ephemeral sandbox for every request. No candidate PII persists beyond the specific agent session.

You can restrict which agents see which tools. Just use the filter in your agent config to limit access to sensitive data.

The server reports connection issues back to the agent. You can script the crew to log the error or try again later.
