How to Use the Canto MCP in CrewAI

Q: Is Canto asset deletion safe in CrewAI?

You should use a tool filter to restrict wipemediaasset to specific moderator agents. This prevents accidental deletion by your research team.

Perplexity

Coordinate Canto management with your CrewAI agents

Assign `list_canto_folders` and `list_canto_albums` to your research agents. They map out your current library structure before the action agents start their work. Your crew shares memory of these locations. This allows for hierarchical execution where one agent plans the organization and another performs the move.

Vaporize stale Canto assets with CrewAI

Use `wipe_media_asset` as a cleanup tool for your moderator agents. They can identify unused files and remove them from the database permanently. This keeps your storage clean without you needing to check the dashboard. It automates the maintenance of your creative storage.

Inspect Canto image properties using CrewAI

Task your analysis agents with `get_image_metadata`. They extract properties from your files to decide which assets need updates or archival. This provides the raw data your crew needs to make decisions. You set the rules and the agents handle the structural extraction.

Setup guide

Set up Canto 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 Canto tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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