How to Use the Basis Technologies MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I limit which Basis Technologies tools a CrewAI agent can access?

Use the toolfilter option within CrewAI's MCPServerHTTP class. This lets you restrict access, ensuring a creative agent only sees listads while an analyst gets performance tools.

Run specialized CrewAI agent teams via this MCP Server to audit, analyze, and report on your Basis Technologies campaigns.

Multi-agent DSP optimization via MCP Server

This Basis Technologies MCP Server connects your CrewAI teams to tools like `list_campaigns` and `get_campaign_performance`. You can assign a Researcher Agent to pull raw campaign metrics while an Analyst Agent processes the trends. Because CrewAI supports shared memory, the Analyst Agent remembers previous performance drops when reviewing new data. Your crew works together to build deep optimization reports without manual data exports.

Automated tactic and creative audits

The `list_tactics` and `get_tactic_performance` tools allow your agents to dissect individual line items. A specialized Media Buyer Agent can identify high-CPA tactics and hand them off to a Creative Agent. The Creative Agent then uses `list_ads` to inspect the actual creatives running under those tactics. This collaborative loop mimics a real marketing team, running completely on autopilot.

Client and brand portfolio mapping

The `list_clients` and `list_brands` tools give your CrewAI agents full visibility into your advertiser accounts. A dedicated Account Manager Agent can map out client structures and assign specific optimization tasks to worker agents. This structure ensures your agents never mix up campaign data between different advertisers. Each crew member stays focused on the correct brand context during execution.

Setup guide

Set up Basis Technologies 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 Basis Technologies tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Basis Technologies MCP in CrewAI

The simplest way is passing your Vinkius HTTP URL directly into the agent's `mcps` list. For more control, import `MCPServerHTTP` from `crewai.mcp` and filter specific tools like `get_campaign`.

Yes, CrewAI's shared memory allows a researcher agent using `list_campaigns` to pass campaign IDs to an analyst agent executing `get_campaign_performance`.

Use the `tool_filter` option within CrewAI's `MCPServerHTTP` class. This lets you restrict access, ensuring a creative agent only sees `list_ads` while an analyst gets performance tools.

It supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports. When running on Vinkius, you will typically use the Streamable HTTP or SSE endpoints for easy cloud access.

All network traffic between CrewAI and Vinkius is encrypted in transit. Your DSP tactics, ad spend figures, and client lists are processed in an isolated, short-lived container that vanishes the moment the execution ends.
