How to Use the Betterfly MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I expose Betterfly tools to a CrewAI agent?

Pass your Vinkius endpoint URL directly into the mcps array when defining your agent. The framework automatically fetches the available tools and makes them ready for use.

Q: Can I restrict which Betterfly tools specific CrewAI agents use?

Yes. Use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter. You can give your analyst access to listpartners while strictly limiting pauseuser to your moderator agent.

Q: How do I list the active corporate users?

Give your agent permission to run listusers. It will retrieve the current directory of corporate members enrolled in your wellness program. This is perfect for auditing active licenses.

Perplexity

Coordinate HR teams with this MCP Server

Stop relying on a single overworked administrator to track company health metrics. Spin up a specialized analyst agent that constantly monitors `get_company_metrics` and `list_activities`. It watches the global step counts and looks for trends in employee participation. When participation flags, the analyst passes its findings to an engagement agent. That second agent evaluates the data and uses `create_challenge` to launch a targeted fitness competition.

Audit benefits and insurance coverage

Employees constantly ask HR what their policies actually cover. You can build a researcher agent dedicated entirely to querying `list_insurance` and `list_benefits`. This researcher grabs the exact covered scopes and hands them to a communicator agent. The communicator formats the complex policy jargon into plain English before sending it to the user.

Track and report ESG impact

Compiling social responsibility reports usually takes weeks of digging through disparate systems. Assign an auditor agent to pull `get_impact_stats` and `list_donations` on a set schedule. The auditor aggregates your corporate donations and environmental stats. It then collaborates with a writer agent to draft your quarterly ESG update without human intervention.

Setup guide

Set up Betterfly 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 Betterfly tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Pass your Vinkius endpoint URL directly into the `mcps` array when defining your agent. The framework automatically fetches the available tools and makes them ready for use.

Yes. Use `MCPServerHTTP` from `crewai.mcp` and apply a `tool_filter`. You can give your analyst access to `list_partners` while strictly limiting `pause_user` to your moderator agent.

Your agents can handle the entire recognition lifecycle autonomously. An evaluator checks `get_user_rewards`, and if criteria are met, an executor agent triggers `assign_reward` to distribute the bonus.

Give your agent permission to run `list_users`. It will retrieve the current directory of corporate members enrolled in your wellness program. This is perfect for auditing active licenses.

Vinkius routes all traffic through a zero-trust architecture. Your agents access policy details via ephemeral connections that leave no trace. The managed endpoint token ensures strict boundary control for all health data.
