How to Use the Chili Piper MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add Chili Piper tools to my CrewAI agents?

Install crewaitools and pass your Vinkius HTTP URL directly into the mcps array on your Agent definition. The crew automatically discovers the scheduling functions.

Q: Can a CrewAI agent filter which Chili Piper tools it uses?

Yes, you can use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp with a toolfilter. This restricts a specific agent to only see generatebookinglink while ignoring queue management tools.

Q: Does CrewAI support checking Chili Piper availability?

Your agents can call getavailability to read calendar white-space. They share this data in memory so other crew members can propose times to the user.

Deploy autonomous CrewAI teams to manage Chili Piper round-robin queues and schedule concierge meetings using this MCP Server.

Manage queues with an MCP Server

The `list_queues` tool lets your lead-routing agent identify precise active arrays spanning native round-robin grouping. One agent analyzes the structure while a manager agent decides if weights need adjustment. To inspect specific distributions, the assigned crew member calls `get_queue_details`. This pulls the explicit layout so your agents can balance workloads without human intervention.

Autonomous concierge routing

Your research agent triggers `list_routes` to identify bounded logical arrays managing top-level unified concierge rules. It cross-references these rules with incoming lead data to determine the right path. When specific mapping logic is required, `get_route_details` performs structural extraction of those properties. The CrewAI hierarchy passes this context to an execution agent that assigns the lead.

Schedule and verify meetings

A booking agent runs `get_availability` to retrieve explicit analytics representing physical white-space. Once a slot is found, it calls `generate_booking_link` to provision the calendar link. To confirm everything worked, a monitoring agent executes `get_meeting_details`. If the prospect declines, the execution agent fires `cancel_meeting` to irreversibly vaporize the scheduling block.

Setup guide

Set up Chili Piper 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 Chili Piper tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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