Collaborative site monitoring in CrewAI

Create a team where one agent monitors `list_issues` while another tracks `list_locations`. They share memory to keep the context consistent. Your agents work in parallel. One agent identifies a delay, and the other immediately checks the project task list for impacts.

Autonomous project reporting

Task your agents with generating daily summaries. They call `list_projects` and `list_checklists` to compile progress reports without human input. This setup allows for hierarchical execution. The supervisor agent reviews the data gathered by the junior agents before finalizing.

Resource management with CrewAI

Connect your crew to `list_companies` and `list_users` to manage site logistics. The agents coordinate assignments based on the data returned. They operate autonomously to keep the site status current. You just monitor the output logs for updates.

Setup guide

Set up BIM 360 Field 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 BIM 360 Field tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="BIM 360 Field Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze BIM 360 Field data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct BIM 360 Field access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent BIM 360 Field 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="BIM 360 Field Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze BIM 360 Field data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct BIM 360 Field access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent BIM 360 Field transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about BIM 360 Field MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL directly into your agent definition. The agents will then be able to call the tools as defined in your crew structure.

Yes. You can share the server across different agents or restrict specific tools to certain roles using a tool filter.

It does. One agent can fetch the project list, and the next agent can use that output to list tasks for those specific projects.

Use the tool_filter option in your configuration to limit which tools an agent can access. This keeps your specialized agents focused on their specific tasks.

Data privacy is maintained through token-based authentication and a locked-down Vinkius sandbox. Your project records and user lists are never cached permanently; the session remains ephemeral.
