How to Use the AT&T Messaging MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I link AT&T Messaging with my CrewAI setup?

Pass the Vinkius URL directly into your agent's mcps array. CrewAI handles the connection natively. Your agents immediately gain access to every telecom tool available on the endpoint.

Q: Can CrewAI agents filter which AT&T Messaging tools they use?

You can restrict them. Use MCPServerHTTP from the core library and apply a toolfilter. This lets you give one agent access to read inbound texts while restricting sending capabilities to a different agent.

Deploy autonomous multi-agent teams to monitor inbound AT&T SMS traffic and execute campaigns using CrewAI.

Autonomous SMS Support Squads in CrewAI

Handling customer replies usually means paying a massive support team to stare at an inbox. You can automate the entire first tier of responses. Hook up this MCP Server and set up a crew where agents pass context to each other based on what the customer texted. A monitoring agent polls `get_inbound_messages` every few minutes. When it sees a STOP command, it tells a technical agent to update the database. If a user asks a question, a response agent drafts a reply and hits `send_sms` to text them back.

Coordinated Bulk Campaigns

Running a mass text broadcast requires pulling lists, verifying numbers, and tracking delivery rates. Doing that manually is tedious. Let specialized agents handle the heavy lifting while you just review the results. Your data agent compiles the 164 numbers and hands them to an execution agent. That agent calls `send_bulk_sms` through the MCP Server. A third reporting agent then runs `list_messages` to audit the delivery success rate across the campaign.

Proactive Campaign Auditing

Telecom compliance is strict. You cannot afford to have broken opt-out flows or missing auto-replies on your marketing numbers. An autonomous crew can audit your setup constantly. Assign an agent to run `get_keyword_responses` and verify the logic matches your compliance docs. If something looks wrong, it alerts your engineering team. The MCP Server gives your crew complete read access to the current telecom configuration.

Setup guide

Set up AT&T Messaging 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 AT&T Messaging tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

    task = Task(
        description="List recent AT&T Messaging transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about AT&T Messaging MCP in CrewAI

Pass the Vinkius URL directly into your agent's `mcps` array. CrewAI handles the connection natively. Your agents immediately gain access to every telecom tool available on the endpoint.

You can restrict them. Use `MCPServerHTTP` from the core library and apply a `tool_filter`. This lets you give one agent access to read inbound texts while restricting sending capabilities to a different agent.

They do. An agent can grab an image URL from its research phase and pass it to `send_mms`. The framework natively handles the required payload formatting for rich media.

CrewAI supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP. For a managed cloud MCP Server, HTTP is the most reliable option. You just need your authorization token.

Vinkius enforces strict zero-trust isolation. When your crew reads a text via `get_inbound_messages`, the message body is processed in a temporary V8 sandbox. We wipe the memory completely once the MCP Server returns the data to your framework.
