Perplexity

Debate ClearBank payment execution

Assign `clearbank_create_faster_payment` to a primary executor agent. A secondary security agent reviews the request before the transfer happens. They debate the transaction parameters. If the security agent flags a risk, the system halts the payment until the conflict is resolved.

Manage ledgers via AutoGen agents

Use `clearbank_get_accounts` to give your management agent a view of the bank. It shares this data with a forecasting agent to plan future operations. They reach a consensus on which accounts to fund. This multi-agent loop ensures that decisions are checked by multiple internal perspectives.

Audit ClearBank wire instructions

Task your agents with calling `clearbank_get_payment_status` after a transfer. They compare the settlement state against the original instruction. If the agents detect a discrepancy, they trigger an alert. This automated oversight happens without manual intervention.

Setup guide

Set up ClearBank 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 ClearBank 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="ClearBank_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about ClearBank MCP in AutoGen

You map the server tools to the agent's tool list. This allows the agents to call the ledger functions as part of their collaborative workflow.

Agents can use the tools to check current balances. They then debate if a proposed payment fits within the available ledger limits.

The server acts as a secure gateway. Data is passed only to the agents involved in the conversation and is never cached by the Vinkius infrastructure.

The server supports HTTP transports. You pass the URL to the adapter, and the agents handle the rest via their internal tool execution logic.

They do. You can assign specific tools to specific agents within a group. This limits who can trigger payments versus who can only read data.
