How to Use the Bold MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents manage physical Bold terminals?

Your agents can query active hardware using listterminals and coordinate checkouts. Once they agree on an available device, an agent invokes initiateterminalpayment with the serial number and COP amount.

Q: How do AutoGen agents verify Bold account balances?

Any agent in your AutoGen group can invoke getaccountbalance to check your merchant funds. This allows finance agents to block high-value refunds if the current balance cannot cover the COP amount.

Let your AutoGen agents debate fraud risks and coordinate physical Bold terminal checkouts using this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Coordinate physical checkouts via agent consensus

Deploy a multi-agent system using this MCP Server where a retail agent and a finance agent negotiate terminal usage. Your AutoGen agents can query active hardware using `list_terminals` and coordinate physical checkouts. Once both agents agree the hardware is online and the account is active, the retail agent triggers `initiate_terminal_payment` with the target serial number and COP amount. This prevents hardware conflicts and ensures terminal payments only occur under optimal conditions.

Debating Colombian anti-fraud rules in AutoGen

Your billing agent can execute payments using `create_online_payment` once your compliance agent approves the card tokenization and payer information. Preventing fraudulent online payments is easier when a dedicated compliance agent audits transaction payloads before they execute. If the compliance agent approves the card tokenization and payer information, the billing agent executes the payment. If flagged, a customer-service agent is brought into the AutoGen conversation to trigger `create_payment_link` as a secure fallback.

Multi-agent refund dispute resolution

Your support agent can pull the transaction details using `get_transaction` while a risk agent reviews the refund history to check for suspicious patterns. This sets up a structured debate to handle refund requests automatically. If both agents reach a consensus that the request is valid, the support agent calls `refund_payment` to return the COP amount. The system then automatically configures a temporary webhook using `create_webhook` to listen for the settlement confirmation.

Setup guide

Set up Bold 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 Bold 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="Bold_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Bold MCP in AutoGen

Yes, you can set up a multi-agent conversation where one agent analyzes anti-fraud data and another triggers `create_online_payment`. The transaction only executes once both agents reach a consensus.

Your agents can query active hardware using `list_terminals` and coordinate checkouts. Once they agree on an available device, an agent invokes `initiate_terminal_payment` with the serial number and COP amount.

Yes, your agents can manage webhook configurations dynamically during their debate. They can register new endpoints using `create_webhook` or clean up unused paths with `delete_webhook` based on the conversation flow.

Any agent in your AutoGen group can invoke `get_account_balance` to check your merchant funds. This allows finance agents to block high-value refunds if the current balance cannot cover the COP amount.

Yes. All data processed by this MCP Server, including Colombian anti-fraud credentials, COP amounts, and terminal serial numbers, is handled in a zero-trust, ephemeral V8 sandbox. Vinkius never intercepts or logs your merchant secrets or card tokens, keeping your financial operations fully secure.
