Perplexity

Debate music trends with AutoGen agents

Assign one agent to `get_best_selling` and another to `get_new_releases`. They compare findings to identify rising artists that meet your specific criteria. This debate-driven approach forces the agents to verify each other's data. You get a curated list that has been vetted by multiple perspectives rather than a single, blind search.

Automate Bandcamp research with agents

Use `search` and `get_page_data` within a multi-agent group chat. One agent fetches the links, while another extracts the technical specs to confirm if the music fits your production requirements. It removes the friction of manual data collection. The agents negotiate the final report until they agree the data is accurate and ready for your review.

Build consensus on Bandcamp editorial picks

Let your agents analyze `get_featured` content to extract themes and artist styles. They discuss these findings to recommend music that matches your evolving tastes. This system handles the deliberation for you. Your agents challenge each other's assumptions about the content, ensuring the final recommendation is actually relevant.

Setup guide

Set up Bandcamp 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 Bandcamp 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="Bandcamp_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Bandcamp 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="Bandcamp_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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