How to Use the Cin7 Core MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I restrict tool access for my CrewAI agents?

Use the toolfilter option in your agent configuration. This prevents specific agents from accessing sensitive tools like CRM lists while allowing inventory checks.

Deploy inventory agents in CrewAI

Assign an agent to monitor stock levels using `get_all_stock_availability`. It tracks warehouse quantities while other agents prepare replenishment orders. Specialized roles keep your supply chain balanced. One agent watches the numbers while the other alerts you to shortages.

Search catalog items in CrewAI

Give your research agent access to `search_products_by_sku` to verify item identification data. It quickly resolves product attributes for your entire crew. This stops your agents from guessing about SKU specifics. They get the exact details from your catalog every single time.

Coordinate sales fulfillment in CrewAI

Use `list_sales_orders` to let your moderator agent audit the status of all current shipments. It flags orders that haven't moved to the packing stage. Your crew acts on these findings to push delayed orders forward. It turns manual status checks into a hands-off automated process.

Setup guide

Set up Cin7 Core 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 Cin7 Core tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Cin7 Core Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Cin7 Core data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Cin7 Core access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Cin7 Core 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="Cin7 Core Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Cin7 Core data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Cin7 Core access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Cin7 Core transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about Cin7 Core MCP in CrewAI

Absolutely. You can attach the server to multiple agents in your crew, allowing them to share stock data and collaborate on fulfillment tasks.
