How to Use the Campaign Monitor MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do my AutoGen agents access the Campaign Monitor tools?

You'll use the mcpservertools function from the autogen-ext library. Point it at your Vinkius server URL, and it returns a list of Python functions. You then pass this tool list into your AssistantAgent constructor.

Assemble a team of AutoGen agents to debate and manage your Campaign Monitor strategy.

Debate Your Next Campaign Strategy

This server lets you create a team of specialist agents to run your marketing. You can have a 'MarketingAnalyst' agent use `list_campaigns` and `get_campaign_performance` to pull recent results. It then presents its findings to a 'CreativeDirector' agent in the same conversation. They can discuss the results right in the chat. The Director might ask for more details, prompting the Analyst to run another tool. This conversational approach, where agents challenge each other using real data from Campaign Monitor, leads to better decisions than a single agent could make alone.

Collaborative List and Subscriber Tasks

AutoGen's strength is consensus. You can design a workflow where one agent proposes an action and another has to approve it. For instance, a 'UserSupport' agent could suggest adding a new user to a list with `add_subscriber`. A 'Compliance' agent could then automatically trigger, use `get_contact_list` to check that list's properties, and ensure it's the correct one before giving the green light. This MCP Server provides the tools for your agents to not just act, but to act responsibly through discussion.

Run Your Marketing Team with an MCP Server

Think of this as giving each of your AutoGen agents a login to Campaign Monitor. They don't just talk about what to do; they can actually do it. The tools cover the full spectrum: account checks with `get_account_info`, content checks with `list_email_templates`, and list management. Setting this up is straightforward. The `autogen-ext[mcp]` package provides a helper to load the tools directly from your Vinkius MCP endpoint. You just assign the tools to the agents that need them, and they can start using them in their conversations immediately.

Setup guide

Set up Campaign Monitor 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 Campaign Monitor 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="Campaign Monitor_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Campaign Monitor MCP in AutoGen

You'll use the `mcp_server_tools` function from the `autogen-ext` library. Point it at your Vinkius server URL, and it returns a list of Python functions. You then pass this tool list into your `AssistantAgent` constructor.

Yes, that's the ideal way to use it. You can create a 'Marketing' agent with access to `get_campaign_performance` and a 'ListManager' agent with access to `add_subscriber` and `list_subscribers`. They can then collaborate in a group chat, each using their own permissions.

No. The tools provided by this MCP server look like any other Python function to your agent. The `McpToolAdapter` handles the conversion automatically, so you can add Campaign Monitor capabilities without rewriting your agent's core logic.

This server is managed, secure, and requires no maintenance. You don't have to worry about API keys, authentication, or keeping the functions updated when the Campaign Monitor API changes. Vinkius handles all of that behind a single, stable endpoint.

The data, like campaign names or subscriber counts, becomes part of the conversation history shared between your agents. The Vinkius MCP Server connection is stateless, but the data it returns will be visible in your agent's chat logs. You need to secure the environment where your AutoGen application runs.
