Chain asset lookups in LangChain

Feed the output of `get_brandfolder_assets` directly into your next processing step. You can link these calls to automate how your agents handle media metadata. Your agent decides the sequence. It pulls a list, filters the results, and moves on to the next action without you needing to write custom glue code.

Update Brandfolder metadata programmatically

Use `patch_cms_asset` to sync your internal database changes back to the source. This keeps your asset records current whenever your pipeline triggers a change. It handles the heavy lifting of attribute updates. You just define the logic, and the agent executes the patch.

Manage organizational assets via MCP Server

List all your available containers with `list_global_brandfolders`. This gives your agent a full map of the workspace before it starts searching for specific files. It removes the guesswork from asset discovery. The agent knows exactly where to look for your documents and images.

Setup guide

Set up Brandfolder MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Brandfolder tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "brandfolder-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Brandfolder transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
