How to Use the Clockwise MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents resolve conflicting schedules using Clockwise?

One agent checks getcalendarevents while another analyzes getteamavailability. They converse in a group chat to find a slot that minimizes disruption to everyone's focus blocks.

Q: Can an AutoGen agent update my preferences automatically?

Yes, if you grant it access to updatepreferences. You can set up a user proxy agent to intercept this call and require a manual 'yes' before the settings are modified.

Q: Where does my calendar data go when AutoGen agents analyze it?

All meeting analytics and user profiles retrieved via getmeetinganalytics remain local to your runtime environment. Vinkius handles the MCP authorization securely, ensuring no calendar contents are leaked to public LLM endpoints.

Let AutoGen agents debate schedule trade-offs and coordinate team calendars using Clockwise to guard deep work.

Debate Calendar Conflicts in AutoGen

Let a scheduling agent and a product manager agent debate when to hold a sprint planning session. The scheduling agent pulls availability using `get_team_availability` while the PM agent pushes for an earlier slot. They negotiate a time that preserves focus blocks, checking `get_focus_time` to make sure they don't break up anyone's morning deep work hours before finalizing the invite.

Automate Autopilot Decision Making via Multi-Agent Consensus

Instead of letting a single agent blindly move meetings, use a group chat where one agent flags schedule conflicts and another verifies preferences using `get_preferences`. Once they agree on the least disruptive move, the executor agent calls `toggle_autopilot` to apply the shift, ensuring your team's calendars are adjusted based on a balanced decision.

Audit Calendar Settings with an MCP Server Agent

Deploy a dedicated auditor agent that reads your current configurations using `get_autopilot_status` to ensure your settings match your team's actual work habits. If it detects a mismatch, it discusses updates with a coordinator agent, which then applies the new rules via `update_preferences` only after getting user approval.

Setup guide

Set up Clockwise 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 Clockwise 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="Clockwise_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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