Specialized message handling with CrewAI

Assign one agent to `list_messages` and another to analyze the sentiment. This division of labor keeps your operations moving fast. Use `send_message` as the action tool for your responder agent. It takes the context provided by other crew members to draft and fire the reply.

Centralized contact management for CrewAI

Let a research agent use `list_contacts` to find the right customer. It gathers the necessary identifiers before the main agent takes action. `update_contact` ensures the workspace is always accurate. The agent updates the profile as soon as the data changes.

Voice analysis crews in CrewAI

Task a monitoring agent with `list_calls` to keep an eye on volume. It flags anomalies for the moderator agent to investigate. `get_conversation` provides the deep context required for complex issues. It retrieves the full status so the agent can make informed decisions.

Setup guide

Set up Bird (MessageBird) 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.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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