How to Use the Browserbear MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents share access to Browserbear tools?

You register tools like runtask and takescreenshot using the McpToolAdapter. Once registered, any agent in your conversational group can invoke them.

Q: Can one AutoGen agent trigger Browserbear and another analyze the output?

Yes. A developer agent can invoke runtask, and once getrun returns the data, a separate analyst agent takes the payload to write a report.

Q: Can my agents clean up after themselves?

Yes, your agents can call deleterun to purge old execution histories once they have extracted and debated the relevant data.

Multi-Agent Consensus for Browserbear Runs

The Browserbear MCP Server lets your planning agent suggest a web scrape while a critic agent checks the parameters. One agent shouldn't make all the decisions. Once they agree on the target, they use `list_tasks` to select the right template. The execution agent then calls `run_task` to run the automation, preventing broken runs and reducing wasted credits.

Visual Verification with an MCP Server

This MCP Server puts an end to blind web automation by letting your verification agent snap quick pictures of rendered pages. Use `take_screenshot` to capture the layout in real time. A vision-enabled agent can then inspect the screenshot to verify the layout or content. If something looks wrong, the agent can call `create_task` to adjust the automation steps on the fly.

Autonomous Budget and Run Management

Managing operational costs is simple when your agents use this MCP Server to check credit limits. A coordinator agent can call `get_account_usage` before starting a massive scraping queue. If the limits are fine, it triggers the queue using `run_task` and monitors progress with `list_runs`. If a run fails, a debugging agent calls `get_run` to analyze the error logs and suggest fixes.

Setup guide

Set up Browserbear 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 Browserbear 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="Browserbear_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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