Coordinate multi-agent SMS campaigns in CrewAI

The `send_bulk_messages` tool allows your lead CrewAI agent to dispatch bulk SMS notifications to segmented lists. While one agent compiles the recipient list, a second agent executes the dispatch tool to broadcast the messages. A third monitoring agent uses `get_message_status` to track delivery rates across the campaign. This division of labor lets your CrewAI team manage large-scale outreach without human oversight.

Validate WhatsApp templates using this Clickatell MCP Server

The `list_whatsapp_templates` tool gives your CrewAI compliance agent direct access to your registered templates. The agent reviews the text against brand guidelines before any message is sent. If a template is outdated, the compliance agent calls `delete_whatsapp_template` to remove it from the active pool. That means your automated customer service agents only use approved, current layouts.

Monitor Clickatell account health autonomously with CrewAI

The `get_account_balance` tool enables your CrewAI budget agent to track active messaging spend. The agent checks the balance daily and alerts your team if credits fall below a set threshold. At the same time, the agent calls `get_account_info` to verify account status and active integrations. This automated auditing keeps your messaging infrastructure running without manual checks.

Setup guide

Set up Clickatell 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 Clickatell tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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