How to Use the Basin MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add Basin tools to a CrewAI agent?

Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly into the mcps array when defining your agent. CrewAI automatically discovers and loads all available form management tools.

Q: Can I restrict which Basin tools a CrewAI agent can use?

Import MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter. You can give your moderator agent access to markasspam while hiding deletesubmission to prevent accidental data loss.

Deploy autonomous agents to monitor, filter, and process Basin form submissions with CrewAI.

Autonomous Basin Lead Triage

A dedicated researcher agent monitors your inbox using `list_form_submissions` to spot new entries. Once it finds an unread record, it passes the ID to an analyst agent for evaluation. The analyst pulls the full payload via `get_submission` and scores the lead based on company size. High scores get escalated to a final action agent that updates your CRM.

CrewAI Spam Filtering Squads

You can assign a specific moderator agent to run `list_submissions` on a schedule, looking for obvious bot traffic. This bot keeps your forms clean without manual intervention. When the moderator identifies junk, it executes `mark_as_spam` immediately. False positives get caught by a secondary reviewer agent that uses `mark_as_not_spam` to restore legitimate messages.

Audit Forms via MCP Server

An overseer agent maps out your entire lead capture infrastructure by calling `list_forms`. It checks which endpoints are active and which ones have stopped receiving traffic. If a specific form looks broken, the agent triggers `refire_webhooks` to test the downstream connections. Running `get_account_check` confirms the API credentials remain valid throughout the audit.

Setup guide

Set up Basin 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 Basin tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Basin MCP in CrewAI

Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly into the `mcps` array when defining your agent. CrewAI automatically discovers and loads all available form management tools.

Import `MCPServerHTTP` from `crewai.mcp` and apply a `tool_filter`. You can give your moderator agent access to `mark_as_spam` while hiding `delete_submission` to prevent accidental data loss.

Shared memory allows the crew to pass submission IDs between roles. The researcher finds a lead with `get_latest_submission`, and the responder uses that exact ID to draft an email.

Streamable HTTP provides the most reliable connection for external cloud endpoints. CrewAI supports this natively alongside standard stdio and SSE options.

Every form submission routes through a zero-trust MCP Server on Vinkius. The sandbox reads the customer data, executes the requested tool, and tears down the environment immediately.
