How to Use the Axle MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register Axle tools with an AutoGen assistant?

Use the mcpservertools helper from the AutoGen MCP extension to fetch the tools. Pass the resulting list directly into your AssistantAgent constructor so they can call tools like listloads.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle connection health with Axle?

You can have a dedicated system agent run getaccountcheck at the start of a conversation. If the connection is down, the agent notifies the group chat to pause operations before trying to fetch driver details.

Let your AutoGen agents debate dispatch decisions and manage loads using this fleet MCP Server.

Resolve dispatch conflicts with AutoGen agents

Using `list_loads` gives your AutoGen agents the raw shipment data they need to negotiate dispatch assignments. The dispatch agent uses this data to find high-priority shipments, while the compliance agent calls `get_driver_availability` to protect driver safety limits. Instead of a single model blindly assigning a run, the agents debate. They only trigger `update_load` once both agree that the assigned driver has the legal hours to complete the delivery safely.

Track fleet assets with cooperative agent debates

Because `get_vehicle_location` feeds live GPS coordinates, your tracking agents can debate routes in real time. One agent can focus on tracking locations, while another checks vehicle details with `get_vehicle` to identify maintenance issues. When a truck breaks down, the agents coordinate. They pull the driver's profile via `get_driver` and search for nearby vehicles with `list_vehicles` to plan a recovery hookup, presenting you with the best agreed-upon option.

Automate document audits via this MCP Server

Whenever `list_documents` retrieves scanned bills of lading, your automated AutoGen compliance agents can run audits. An audit agent can pull the active paperwork while a billing agent checks the load details via `get_load` to find discrepancies. The agents cross-reference the data to ensure the bill of lading matches the shipment file. If everything checks out, they update the status; otherwise, they flag the load for human review.

Setup guide

Set up Axle 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 includes mcp_server_tools for 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 AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Axle tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

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="Axle_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Axle 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. McpWorkbench is 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=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

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="Axle_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Axle data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Use the mcp_server_tools helper from the AutoGen MCP extension to fetch the tools. Pass the resulting list directly into your AssistantAgent constructor so they can call tools like list_loads.

Yes, you can set up a group chat where one agent drafts the update and another reviews it. Once they reach consensus, the designated executor agent calls update_load to save the changes.

You can have a dedicated system agent run get_account_check at the start of a conversation. If the connection is down, the agent notifies the group chat to pause operations before trying to fetch driver details.

Yes, AutoGen's MCP adapter supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP transports. For Vinkius, you will configure it to use the secure HTTP endpoint with your user token.

Vinkius isolates the server execution inside a secure, ephemeral sandbox. Your driver details from list_drivers and GPS coordinates are never cached or logged by Vinkius, keeping your operational data private.
