CrewAI agents managing Bold payments

Create a specialized crew for finance operations. One agent uses `get_account_balance` to report daily totals while another uses `get_transaction` to verify individual sales. Agents collaborate to keep your books balanced. They share memory so the whole crew knows the status of every payment.

Bold payment links in CrewAI

Let your sales agents generate checkout links on demand. Use `create_payment_link` to send unique links to customers based on the conversation context. It saves your team time on manual invoicing. The agent fills in the amount and reference description automatically for each client.

Terminal monitoring with CrewAI

Assign a monitor agent to watch your physical terminal fleet. It calls `list_terminals` every hour to ensure all devices are active. If a terminal goes offline, the agent alerts your support crew. It keeps your physical payment pipeline moving without human oversight.

Setup guide

Set up Bold 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 Bold tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Bold MCP in CrewAI

Your agents can check your balance anytime. Just give the agent access to the `get_account_balance` tool and ask them for a report.

You pass the Bold MCP URL to your agent configuration. You can also use a tool filter to restrict which agents can process actual payments.

We keep your financial data isolated. The server processes requests through a secure sandbox, and your merchant credentials never leave your local environment.

Agents can generate links on the fly during a chat. They use the `create_payment_link` tool to draft a specific amount and reference for any customer.

The server doesn't store your transaction history. It only provides a window for your agents to view and act on live Bold data when requested.
