How to Use the Better Stack MCP in AutoGen
Let your AutoGen agents debate and resolve Better Stack incidents autonomously via this MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Better Stack MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Better Stack to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Deploy AutoGen incident response squads
Complex outages require different perspectives. You can assign this MCP connection to a dedicated infrastructure agent within your AutoGen swarm. A monitoring agent spots a spike and runs `get_incident` to grab the timeline. It then debates with a database agent about the root cause before anyone decides to run `acknowledge_incident`.
Cross-examine MCP uptime failures
Agents do not just execute commands; they challenge each other. If a passive node drops, one agent uses `list_heartbeats` to check the cron schedule. A second agent might pull endpoint metrics via `get_monitor` to verify if the failure is isolated. They negotiate the severity of the issue before paging a human.
Consensus-driven pager routing
Waking someone up at 3 AM should require agreement. Your agents can pull the active calendar using `list_on_call` and review the current public messaging via `list_status_pages`. Once they agree the issue is fixed, the lead agent fires `resolve_incident`. The system ensures multiple checks pass before closing the loop.
Set up Better Stack 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes Better Stack tools and returns structured results.
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="Better Stack_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Better Stack 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="Better Stack_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Better Stack data")
