Can I add a vote to a post using the agent?

Yes! Use the `vote_on_post` tool with the Post ID and Voter ID. Your agent will add the vote in Canny, helping prioritize the feedback item.

How do I list all the planned features from a specific board?

Simply ask the agent to `list_feedback_posts` and provide the Board ID and set the status to `planned`. It will retrieve all matching posts from your Canny account.

Does the integration allow creating a new feedback post?

Yes. Use the `create_feedback_post` action and provide the Board ID, Author ID, title, and details. The new item will be added to your Canny board instantly.

Canny + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Canny MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Canny tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
