How to Use the Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents use Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler to negotiate deadlines?

One AutoGen agent proposes a timeline, and another uses addbusinessdays to verify if the target dates hit weekends or holidays. They pass the updated dates back and forth until they reach a consensus. This ensures all schedules are realistic.

Q: How do I configure Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler in AutoGen?

Install autogen-extmcp and use the parameters to connect to the Vinkius MCP Server. Pass the resulting tool list to your AutoGen AssistantAgent constructor. The agent is then equipped to handle complex date calculations.

Let your AutoGen agents debate and resolve timezone conflicts and holiday deadlines.

Resolve scheduling debates with AutoGen agents

The `add_business_days` tool calculates target dates by skipping weekends and public holidays. In AutoGen, your coordinator agent can propose a date, and a compliance agent checks it using this tool. This prevents agents from agreeing on a deadline that falls on a holiday. The debate resolves only when the calculated business day matches the project constraints.

Coordinate global times across AutoGen groups

The `convert_timezone` tool shifts exact times between IANA timezone strings. Your agents use this MCP tool to translate meeting times before scheduling them across different regional representatives. This ensures that an agent representing a team in Tokyo and another in New York agree on the exact same UTC moment. No human intervention is needed to verify the conversion.

Connect this MCP Server to AutoGen workflows

This MCP Server registers its tools directly with AutoGen using the `mcp_server_tools` adapter. Setup is fast with `pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]"`. The adapter handles schema translation automatically so your agents can call timezone and holiday functions without custom parsers.

Setup guide

Set up Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler 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 Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler 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="Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler 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="Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Business Timezone & Holiday Scheduler data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
