How to Use the Certn MCP in CrewAI

Q: Does CrewAI limit Certn API usage?

You can use toolfilter in your config to restrict which agents have access to sensitive tools. This controls your API consumption.

Deploy a crew of agents to manage your entire screening process with the Certn MCP Server.

Autonomous screening with CrewAI

Assign a researcher agent to monitor `list_hr_applicants` and trigger `quick_hr_application` for new entries. The crew works around the clock to keep your pipeline moving. You set the strategy and the agents handle the execution. No manual intervention is required.

Collaborative reporting in CrewAI

Have one agent fetch reports via `get_hr_report_web` while another analyzes the results for compliance flags. They share context to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. This multi-agent approach catches issues that a single script might miss. It provides a deeper layer of verification.

Scalable MCP Server operations

Connect this MCP Server to your crew to handle `list_pm_properties` and `invite_pm_application` tasks at scale. The crew distributes the workload across your team agents. It turns a complex task into a series of simple, automated steps. Your agents stay organized and efficient.

Setup guide

Set up Certn 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 Certn tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Certn MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL to your agent's mcps list. The agents will automatically see the available tools for background checks.

Agents share memory contexts, allowing one agent to run a check and another to download the report. This keeps the workflow synced.

The agents coordinate tasks sequentially. One agent handles the invitation, while another waits for the status update to finish.

All PII remains within the ephemeral agent session. The data is cleared once the crew completes the task.

You can use tool_filter in your config to restrict which agents have access to sensitive tools. This controls your API consumption.
