Assign Channable tasks to CrewAI agents

Create a team where one agent monitors `list_marketplace_orders` while another handles customer inquiries. Each agent focuses on one part of your ecommerce operations. This specialization keeps your crew efficient. The agents share context to ensure they don't duplicate work.

Automate order processing with CrewAI

Set up a crew to scan for new shipments using `list_order_shipments` and report back. The agents work sequentially to ensure every order is accounted for. You define the goal and the crew executes the plan. It handles the data retrieval without you clicking a single button.

Manage projects with a dedicated crew

Use a specialized agent to `list_channable_projects` and verify configurations. The agent checks the settings and notifies you if something looks wrong. This keeps your marketplace presence consistent. The crew runs these checks on your schedule or based on specific triggers.

Setup guide

Set up Channable 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 Channable tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Channable MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL to your agent definition's mcps list. The agents will then see the tools automatically.

They can. Assign the update tool to your inventory agent and define the criteria for when it should fire.

No, you use the managed server directly. Just plug in the URL and your agents are ready to work.

The agents use shared memory to pass information between them. One agent collects the data, the next one processes it.

Your order and customer records are handled within an isolated sandbox. The data is never stored outside of your active agent session.
