How to Use the Certn MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle failed Certn background checks?

Your recruiter agent calls gethrapplicant and finds a failed status. It passes this to a compliance agent, which reviews the failure reasons and suggests next steps.

Q: How do multiple AutoGen agents coordinate on Certn packages?

One agent queries listpackages to find available screenings, while another agent matches those packages against the job description to select the right checks.

Q: How do agents download the final background check PDF?

The agent calls gethrreportpdf when the applicant status is complete, saving the binary file directly to your secure document management system.

Let AutoGen agents debate and coordinate Certn background checks for automated tenant and candidate screening.

Coordinate HR screenings with multi-agent debate

This MCP Server allows your AutoGen agents to collaborate on hiring workflows. A recruiter agent calls `list_hr_applicants` to find new candidates, while a compliance agent reviews the packages using `list_packages` to ensure the correct checks are applied. The agents negotiate the best screening path. Once they agree, they trigger `invite_hr_application` to send the screening link to the candidate, keeping your compliance logs completely audit-ready.

Run instant tenant checks using AutoGen agents

You set up an automated property management loop where agents handle applications. The MCP integration allows a leasing agent to call `list_pm_applicants` to identify new tenant leads, then passes the details to a screener agent. The screener agent runs `quick_pm_application` to pull credit and background data instantly. A separate risk-analysis agent evaluates the output and decides whether to approve the application or request manual review.

Manage team access and permissions programmatically

Your admin agents monitor platform usage and workspace organization. This MCP setup lets them call `list_teams`, `list_superteams`, and `list_users` to map out your corporate structure and verify who has access to screening data. When a new recruiter joins, the agent can verify their permissions before allowing them to run `invite_hr_application` or download reports, keeping your screening process secure.

Setup guide

Set up Certn 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 Certn 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="Certn_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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