How to Use the BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) MCP in CrewAI
Deploy autonomous agent crews on CrewAI that interact with BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) nodes.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Specialized agents for BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network)
Assign a dedicated monitor agent to run `get_ru_consumed` and report back to your primary analyst agent. This role-based setup ensures that cost tracking happens separate from your main execution logic. Your agents collaborate using shared memory to keep track of RU usage. They decide when it is time to switch endpoints based on the data provided by these tools.
Execute complex JSON-RPC chains
Use `rpc_call` to fetch chain states that inform your crew's decision-making process. One agent retrieves the data, and another interprets the results to perform specific actions. This sequential execution allows for sophisticated automated operations. Your agents handle the heavy lifting while you define the strategy for how they interact with the network.
Automated wallet management for crews
Task your administrative agent with calling `get_wallet_balance` regularly. It ensures your operational budget is always sufficient for the tasks currently assigned to the crew. If the balance is insufficient, the agent can pause the crew's activity to prevent failure. It keeps your autonomous systems running smoothly without requiring a human to check the dashboard.
Set up BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) MCP in CrewAI
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
crewaipackage (pip install crewai) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install CrewAI
Run
pip install crewaito install the framework. MCP support is built-in via themcpsparameter. - 2
Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the
mcpslist. 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
Crewwith your agent and tasks. Callcrew.kickoff()— the agent will automatically invoke BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) tools as needed.
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
agent = Agent(
