Can I see the agenda for my next board meeting?

Yes! Use the `get_meeting` tool with the Meeting ID. Your agent will fetch the latest details, including the agenda and scheduled time, directly from BoardEffect.

How do I list all the members of a specific committee?

Simply ask the agent to `list_members`. You can then inspect individual member profiles or use the `list_workrooms` tool to see which members are assigned to specific committee spaces.

Does the integration allow me to archive a project?

Currently, the toolset focuses on querying and monitoring (Read-Only). You can list and inspect meetings, members, and archives, but archiving active projects or deleting data must be done through the BoardEffect platform for security and compliance.

Common questions about integrating BoardEffect MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call BoardEffect tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
