How to Use the BigMailer MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register BigMailer MCP tools with AutoGen agents?

Install autogen-extmcp and use mcpservertools with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass the resulting tool list to your AssistantAgent constructor. The MCP tool adapter handles schema conversion automatically.

Q: Can AutoGen agents collaborate to create a BigMailer campaign?

Yes, one agent can list templates using listtemplates while another inspects existing campaigns with listbulkcampaigns. They exchange messages to choose the best template before proposing next steps.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle BigMailer brand selection?

The agents call listbrands to find available brand IDs, then debate which brand matches the current customer context. The chosen ID is then used for subsequent calls like listcontactlists.

Q: How is my BigMailer subscriber data protected in AutoGen?

All subscriber records processed by addcontact or retrieved via listcontacts travel through an isolated, zero-trust V8 sandbox. Your API keys and raw customer email addresses are never cached or written to disk.

Let AutoGen agents debate campaign strategies and execute BigMailer updates through automated consensus.

Coordinate BigMailer MCP Server tasks across AutoGen agents

The `list_brands` tool allows your AutoGen orchestrator agent to identify which marketing account needs updates before assigning sub-tasks. One AutoGen agent pulls the brand properties with `get_brand_properties` while another checks active BigMailer campaigns using `list_bulk_campaigns`. This AutoGen multi-agent setup prevents errors by separating concerns across BigMailer tools. An AutoGen validation agent reviews the campaign details from `get_bulk_campaign` before a writer agent uses `add_contact` to update the subscriber list.

Resolve contact list discrepancies through debate

The `list_contact_lists` tool provides the raw list data that your AutoGen agents analyze for consistency. A data-hygiene AutoGen agent checks the lists returned by `list_contacts` against external database records to find anomalies. If a discrepancy is found, the hygiene AutoGen agent debates the campaign agent on whether to run `add_contact`. Once the AutoGen agents reach a consensus, the BigMailer update tool is triggered automatically.

Automate template selection and verification

The `list_templates` tool exposes your design library to a specialized creative agent in your AutoGen group. This AutoGen agent selects a layout, while a compliance agent cross-references it with brand rules retrieved from `get_brand`. Agreement between AutoGen agents on whether the selected BigMailer template matches the active campaign parameters is mandatory. Once both confirm, the AutoGen coordinator executes the campaign preparation steps using the approved template ID.

Setup guide

Set up BigMailer 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 BigMailer 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="BigMailer_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent BigMailer 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="BigMailer_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent BigMailer data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
