How to Use the BIMobject MCP in AutoGen

Q: Can AutoGen agents collaborate to download files from BIMobject?

Yes. One AutoGen agent can use searchproducts to find the right item, and another agent can take that ID to run getproductfiles and retrieve the download links.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle conflicting BIMobject brand details?

If two agents retrieve different specs using getbranddetails, they can initiate a debate loop. They will compare the timestamps and version numbers from the API to determine which brand data is current.

Q: What formats do I get when listing product files?

When you call getproductfiles, the tool returns a list of all available formats hosted on the marketplace, including Revit, IFC, AutoCAD, and ArchiCAD files.

Q: How is my BIMobject user profile data protected during multi-agent runs?

When an agent calls getme to check credentials, the session token is transmitted over an encrypted TLS connection. Vinkius runs the server in an isolated sandbox, meaning your profile data is never exposed to other agents or external logs.

Multi-agent debate over BIMobject specifications

Set up a design agent and an estimating agent in AutoGen to find options using `search_products`. The design agent focuses on aesthetics, while the estimator calls `get_product_details` to check structural specs. They can cross-reference the data using `list_classifications` to ensure the selected components meet regional building codes. This MCP setup prevents bad spec choices before they reach your engineering team.

Automate file validation with the AutoGen MCP Server

You can configure an AutoGen QA agent to monitor files by calling `get_product_files` to verify Revit or CAD formats. If a file is missing, the agent uses `get_brand_details` to find the manufacturer's contact info. It then flags the issue to your team, automating what used to be a tedious manual audit. This keeps your BIM library clean without human intervention.

Track marketplace updates via autonomous agent loops

Let an AutoGen coordinator agent run a daily sweep of the marketplace using `list_latest_products` and `list_featured_products`. The agent identifies new components matching your project criteria and updates your internal design board. By using `list_categories`, the agent can sort these new arrivals into specific system folders. You get a curated feed of new building products tailored exactly to your active projects.

Setup guide

Set up BIMobject 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 BIMobject 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="BIMobject_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Yes. The MCP Server connection is managed at the client level. All agents in your AutoGen group share the same secure session, allowing them to make calls like `get_me` without re-authenticating.

When you call `get_product_files`, the tool returns a list of all available formats hosted on the marketplace, including Revit, IFC, AutoCAD, and ArchiCAD files.

When an agent calls `get_me` to check credentials, the session token is transmitted over an encrypted TLS connection. Vinkius runs the server in an isolated sandbox, meaning your profile data is never exposed to other agents or external logs.
