Collaborative CMS management for CrewAI

Assign one agent to research content gaps using `list_model_content` and another to execute updates with `update_visual_block`. They work together to maintain your site. Your crew shares memory of the CMS state. This prevents conflicting edits and keeps your content strategy consistent.

Autonomous content auditing for CrewAI

Use a monitor agent to periodically run `count_model_entities`. If the numbers look off, it alerts the manager agent to investigate. This creates a self-healing content pipeline. Your agents fix broken links or missing blocks without waiting for your input.

Advanced content retrieval

Query specific documents with `get_single_content` to feed your agents the exact context they need. They analyze your current pages to draft new versions. Your agents draft, review, and publish content entries. You just set the goals, and the crew uses the toolset to get the job done.

Setup guide

Set up Builder 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 Builder tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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