Catalog discovery for AutoGen

The `get_opds_catalog` tool provides the full library structure to your agents. They use this data to decide which books need attention. Agents argue over the best organization. One agent proposes a cleanup, while another verifies the catalog state.

Shelf analysis with AutoGen

Use `get_opds_shelf` to feed specific lists to your agent team. They compare different shelves to find duplicates or gaps. They reach a consensus on what to move. The deliberation process ensures your library stays organized.

Device sync negotiation in AutoGen

The `sync_kobo_library` tool lets agents manage your Kobo updates. They negotiate the sync timing to avoid conflicts. They reach a final decision on when to push changes. Your hardware state remains consistent with your library goals.

Setup guide

Set up Calibre-Web 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 Calibre-Web 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="Calibre-Web_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Calibre-Web MCP in AutoGen

You pass the MCP tools to your AssistantAgent constructor. The adapter handles the schema so your agents can call the tools during their debates.

Yes, your agents can debate the best way to resolve issues. They use the tool outputs to justify their decisions before executing a change.

The server connection lasts for the duration of your agent conversation. Each agent has access to the same live library data.

They pass messages back and forth about the Kobo status. Once they agree, they invoke the tool to perform the actual library sync.

The token is encrypted and stored in your secure endpoint. Only the authorized MCP server accesses it to perform the sync, keeping it away from your agent scripts.
