Perplexity

Fuel multi-agent debates with real inflation data

The `get_ipca` tool provides the official Broad National Consumer Price Index (SGS series 433) directly to your AutoGen conversation loop. This tool serves as the ground truth when agents debate monetary policy impacts. One agent can analyze the official IPCA figures while another agent critiques the findings. This setup ensures that your automated economic debates rely on verified government metrics rather than static knowledge.

Run predictive market simulations using an MCP Server

The `get_expectativas_inflacao` tool fetches the Focus Survey expectations, giving your agents access to mean, median, and extreme market forecasts. This allows specialized agents to simulate different financial scenarios. You can assign one agent to represent optimistic market views using the minimum forecast bounds. A second agent can build worst-case models using the maximum standard deviation limits, producing a balanced consensus report.

Automate contract adjustments in agent conversations

The `get_igpm` tool delivers the index used for adjusting most Brazilian rental and commercial agreements via our MCP tools. This index combines wholesale, consumer, and construction costs to reflect broader market shifts. During a negotiation simulation, your finance agent can pull this index alongside `get_inpc` to propose fair salary and lease adjustments. AutoGen coordinates this exchange, ensuring all agents agree on the math before finalizing the contract.

Setup guide

Set up BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas 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 BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas 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="BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas 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="BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
