How to Use the BulkSMS MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add BulkSMS MCP Server tools to a specific CrewAI agent?

Pass your Vinkius HTTP URL directly into the agent's mcps parameter during initialization. To limit access, use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter for specific tools like sendsms.

Q: How do CrewAI agents share BulkSMS group data?

CrewAI's shared memory allows one agent to run listgroups and share the group IDs with other agents. A different agent can then use listgroupmembers to analyze the recipient lists.

Let your CrewAI agent teams coordinate bulk text campaigns and monitor delivery statuses autonomously.

Coordinate text campaigns with CrewAI and this MCP Server

The `send_bulk_sms` and `list_groups` tools allow a marketing agent to select a target audience and dispatch promotional messages. Meanwhile, a supervisor agent can monitor the dispatch queue to ensure the message formatting complies with regional regulations. You pass your Vinkius URL into the CrewAI agent's `mcps` array to grant immediate access. The agents share context, meaning the writing agent drafts the text while the sending agent executes the dispatch using the group data.

Track SMS delivery statuses across your CrewAI team

The `get_message` and `list_messages` tools enable a specialized support agent to track sent texts. If a critical notification remains undelivered, the agent can escalate the issue by alerting your team through other channels. This multi-agent setup ensures no failed messages go unnoticed. By using the MCP Server, one agent focuses entirely on sending while another audits delivery receipts to catch routing issues.

Monitor BulkSMS account health with CrewAI agents

The `get_profile` and `get_account_info` tools let an operations agent keep tabs on your remaining text credits and account settings. The agent can run these checks daily or right before a scheduled campaign to verify resources. If credits run low, the agent can draft an email request for a top-up. This keeps your automated communication channels active without requiring you to manually log into your BulkSMS dashboard every week.

Setup guide

Set up BulkSMS 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 BulkSMS tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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