How to Use the Bounsel MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add Bounsel MCP tools to a CrewAI agent?

Pass your Vinkius MCP URL directly into the mcps list when defining your CrewAI agent. The framework automatically discovers tools like createdocument and makes them available to the agent.

Q: Can I restrict which Bounsel tools a CrewAI agent can use?

Yes, you can use the MCPServerHTTP class from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter. This lets you restrict a specific agent to only read tools like listdocuments while blocking write actions.

Deploy specialized multi-agent teams to manage your Bounsel contracts autonomously with CrewAI.

Deploy a collaborative contract operations crew

CrewAI lets you set up specialized agents that work together on legal tasks. For instance, a Researcher agent can gather client data, while a Legal Draftsman agent uses `create_document` to build the contract. A third Auditor agent can then run `get_document` to verify all fields are correct before a Sender agent triggers `send_document`. This division of labor reduces errors in your legal pipeline.

Autonomous workspace monitoring via MCP Server

Keep your team updated on pending contracts without writing polling scripts. An agent can use the MCP Server to run `list_documents` periodically to check for unsigned agreements and compile status reports. If a contract remains unsigned for too long, the agent can look up the account owner using `get_account_info` and escalate the issue to the right team member.

Template management and synchronization

Your legal templates change, and your agents need to stay synchronized. An agent can query your library using `list_templates` to ensure your automated systems always use the latest contract versions. When a template is updated, the agent can retrieve the exact structure with `get_template` and update your internal database or notify the engineering team of schema changes.

Setup guide

Set up Bounsel 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 Bounsel tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Bounsel MCP in CrewAI

Pass your Vinkius MCP URL directly into the `mcps` list when defining your CrewAI agent. The framework automatically discovers tools like `create_document` and makes them available to the agent.

Yes, you can use the `MCPServerHTTP` class from `crewai.mcp` and apply a `tool_filter`. This lets you restrict a specific agent to only read tools like `list_documents` while blocking write actions.

Agents share context through CrewAI's built-in memory system. When one agent runs `get_document`, the resulting legal details are stored in the shared memory, allowing other agents in the crew to act on that information.

The integration supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports. Vinkius handles the underlying connection, so your crew can communicate with the server without protocol headaches.

All communication between your CrewAI agents and Bounsel is encrypted in transit. The Vinkius gateway acts as a secure, ephemeral proxy, meaning no signer emails or contract contents are ever cached or logged on external servers.
