CrewAI agents managing BlackTwist posts

Assign a researcher agent to `list_posts`. It finds outdated content while your writer agent creates new copy. Your crew shares memory of these tools. Once one agent gets the account settings, the rest of the crew knows where to post.

Engagement analysis for CrewAI

Task a moderator agent with `get_analytics_metrics`. It watches for spikes in engagement and signals the crew to respond. Use `get_thread_follow_up` to keep the conversation going. The agent handles the follow-up logic based on the thread state.

Autonomous social operations in CrewAI

Configure your crew to run `get_posting_consistency` on a loop. They detect inactivity and draft new content automatically. Filter tool exposure with `tool_filter` to keep your crew focused. Only give them access to the specific tools they need to perform their role.

Setup guide

Set up BlackTwist 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 BlackTwist tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about BlackTwist MCP in CrewAI

Yes, you assign the MCP server to your agents. They use the tools as needed to fulfill their assigned role.

It works across any crew structure. You can give the manager agent access to all tools or restrict them to specific workers.

Pass the server URL in your agent configuration. Your agents will auto-discover the tools and start using them.

They collaborate by sharing data from the tools. One agent fetches the analytics, and another acts on that data.

The server operates in an ephemeral sandbox. Your social media access tokens are never stored by the agents and are used only for the requested session.
