How to Use the Clickatell MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can I build a CrewAI team to monitor my Clickatell account balance and send alerts?

Yes. You'd have one agent with the getaccountbalance tool. Its task would be to check the balance periodically. If it's low, it passes that information to a second 'Notifier' agent whose job is to send an alert.

Q: Can a CrewAI agent check Clickatell delivery status and then test carrier coverage?

Definitely. You would create a 'Support' agent with both getdeliverystatus and testcarriercoverage. Its task would be to check status, and if it sees a failure, its next step is to automatically run the coverage test on that number.

Q: Can I cancel a message that's already been scheduled?

Yes, the cancelqueuedmessage tool does exactly that. It's an irreversible action that deletes a scheduled message or campaign from the Clickatell queue before it goes out.

A Crew for Your Clickatell Account

With CrewAI, you can build a team of specialized agents to run your messaging. Assign an "Accountant" agent the `get_account_balance` tool. It can monitor your funds and alert a "Manager" agent if the balance is low. This divides the work just like a human team. Meanwhile, a "Campaign" agent can use `dispatch_bulk_sms` to send out marketing blasts and `list_scheduled_campaigns` to report on what's in the queue. Each agent has a clear job, and they use the specific Clickatell tools they need to do it.

Autonomous Troubleshooting with an MCP Server

Set up a "Support" agent to proactively monitor your SMS delivery. This agent's job is to use `get_delivery_status` to check on important messages. If a message fails, it can use `test_carrier_coverage` to check the route to that specific phone number (MSISDN). Based on the results, it can escalate the issue to a human or another agent. This is a fully autonomous process. Your CrewAI team finds and diagnoses problems before your users even notice them.

Build a Self-Managing Messaging System

You can create a complete, hands-off system. One agent's role is to manage outbound campaigns. Another agent handles inbound, using `list_inbound_rules` to monitor routing and `upsert_inbound_rule` to make changes when a new service comes online. If a campaign needs to be stopped immediately, a high-priority "Operator" agent can be given access to the `cancel_queued_message` tool. CrewAI's role-based tool access on this MCP server makes this kind of operational safety easy to build.

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()
    print(result)

Common questions about Clickatell MCP in CrewAI

When you define an agent in CrewAI, you pass a list of tools to it. For a 'Finance' agent, you'd only pass the `get_account_balance` tool from this MCP server. A 'Marketing' agent would get `dispatch_bulk_sms`.
