How to Use the CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) tools in AutoGen?

Install autogen-extmcp and use mcpservertools with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass the resulting tool list directly to your AssistantAgent constructor to give it Cardano blockchain access.

Q: Can AutoGen agents verify wallet balances using CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API)?

Yes, an agent calls getaddress to fetch the current balance and UTXO state. It can then share this data with other agents in the conversation to verify funding.

Q: How does CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) help AutoGen agents track assets?

Agents call getasset and listassettransactions to track native tokens. They can debate the asset's velocity and distribution patterns directly in the chat thread.

Q: Does the adapter handle tool schema conversion automatically?

Yes, the McpToolAdapter in AutoGen automatically translates the CardanoScan tool schemas into the format required by your agents.

Let your AutoGen agents debate and verify Cardano blockchain state in real time.

Multi-agent consensus on Cardano transactions

This MCP Server exposes `get_transaction` and `get_transaction_utxos` to let your AutoGen agents cross-verify ledger entries. One agent can retrieve the raw transaction details while a security agent analyzes the inputs and outputs to flag potential double-spends or high fees. They debate the findings in a group chat before confirming the transaction status to your system. This consensus-driven approach prevents a single agent from acting on incomplete or misparsed blockchain data.

Multi-agent epoch tracking via MCP Server

Your agents use `get_epoch` and `get_latest_epoch` to coordinate activities based on Cardano's five-day epoch cycle. A scheduling agent tracks the epoch progress while an execution agent prepares delegation or payout tasks. The agents negotiate the exact timing of transactions to avoid high-congestion periods at the epoch boundary. This coordination happens entirely through automated agent-to-agent dialogue.

Stake pool auditing with AutoGen

Your audit agent uses `list_pools` and `get_pool` to retrieve live stake pool metrics from the blockchain. It passes this data to a financial analyst agent that evaluates the pool's performance and margin changes. If the analyst agent detects a sudden fee increase, it alerts the group chat so the delegation agent can initiate a pool switch. This automates complex portfolio management through collaborative decision making.

Setup guide

Set up CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) 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 CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) 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="CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API)_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) 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="CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API)_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
