Debate whiteboard changes in AutoGen

You can set up multiple agents in AutoGen that discuss modifications to your BoardMix files. One agent might propose a layout change using `create_file`, while another critiques it based on team constraints found via `get_org_info`. This setup requires the agents to reach a consensus before executing any tool. It prevents rushed decisions on your whiteboard projects.

Automate BoardMix project management with AutoGen

Let your agents handle the logistics of your team projects by interacting with the BoardMix API. They can use `list_team_projects` and `list_teams` to organize tasks without your input. If a conflict arises in project scheduling, the agents negotiate a solution. They use the BoardMix tools to verify team availability before proposing a new whiteboard structure.

Manage BoardMix templates with AutoGen agents

Agents can automatically select and apply the right template for your new whiteboards using `list_templates`. They analyze your project requirements and then call the necessary tools to set up the workspace. You avoid the busy work of manual file creation. The agents ensure every new BoardMix document matches the standard your team expects.

Setup guide

Set up BoardMix 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 BoardMix 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="BoardMix_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about BoardMix MCP in AutoGen

Yes, you use the autogen-ext package to bridge the gap. The McpToolAdapter automatically converts BoardMix tools into a format your AutoGen AssistantAgents understand.

They communicate through the Streamable HTTP transport provided by the MCP server. The agents treat your whiteboard functions as native capabilities within their conversation loop.

The MCP server uses a zero-trust architecture. Your whiteboard file identifiers and node data are handled ephemerally and are only visible to your specific agent session.

You can configure your AutoGen agents to require human-in-the-loop approval before they invoke any BoardMix tools. This gives you control over the final decision.

The server supports both stdio and HTTP transports for your AutoGen environment. You can choose the setup that best fits your local development or production needs.
