Debate assets within AutoGen

Set up a performance agent and a compliance agent to review `get_asset_details`. They will argue over which assets meet your current project requirements. It brings human-like deliberation to your asset management. The agents check each other's work before committing to a final decision.

Map organizations in AutoGen

Use `list_platform_organizations` to give your agents a view of the entire workspace. This helps them understand the scope before they start searching for assets. It keeps the conversation grounded in your actual tenant structure. No more guessing which organization holds your files.

Verify asset tags via MCP Server

Let your agents use `list_asset_tags` to ensure files are correctly categorized. They can challenge each other if an asset doesn't meet your tagging standards. It automates quality control. Your agents ensure the library stays organized without you having to manually check every upload.

Setup guide

Set up Brandfolder 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 Brandfolder 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="Brandfolder_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Brandfolder MCP in AutoGen

Install the MCP adapter for AutoGen and pass the tools to your agent constructor. The agents will then use the tools as part of their collaborative reasoning process.

They can. You can give them access to `patch_cms_asset` so they can debate and perform updates to metadata as part of their consensus-building.

Vinkius uses a zero-trust architecture. Your sensitive asset information is processed within an ephemeral sandbox, and your API credentials never leave the secure Vinkius environment.

It does. The server supports Streamable HTTP transports, allowing your agents to receive real-time updates while they debate asset choices.

You can define the tool list passed to each agent. This allows you to control which agents have the authority to search, update, or delete assets.
