How to Use the Cnnect MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I connect Cnnect as an MCP Server to my AutoGen agent group?

Use mcpservertools from the autogen-ext package to load the tools from your Vinkius URL. Pass the resulting tool list directly to your AssistantAgent instances.

Q: Can multiple AutoGen agents use Cnnect tools simultaneously?

Yes, agents can call tools like getanalyticssummary or listcompanymembers as they debate. The framework handles concurrent execution and returns the results to the active conversation thread.

Q: How does the system handle lead categorization?

Your agents can query listtags to see existing labels. They then debate which tag fits a new lead best before calling the tool to apply it.

Q: Is my company member roster safe when using this tool?

Yes. All employee directory data fetched via listcompanymembers is processed locally within your runtime. Vinkius acts as a secure proxy, never logging the actual lead profiles or team rosters passing through the endpoint.

Let your AutoGen agents debate lead assignments and analyze NFC card performance autonomously.

Coordinate lead triage with AutoGen

The `create_lead` tool allows your AutoGen agent group to register new prospects after analyzing raw input from a form or email. A triage AutoGen agent can draft the lead details, while a validation agent checks the format before submission. This MCP Server allows them to use `list_tags` to categorize the Cnnect lead based on the conversation context, negotiating the best labels before finalizing.

Audit company card usage via MCP Server

The `list_physical_cards` tool exposes your physical card inventory to your AutoGen agent conversations. An AutoGen compliance agent can cross-reference active Cnnect cards against your employee roster. If an anomaly is found, an AutoGen manager agent can query `get_card_details` to inspect the specific card's configuration.

Debate marketing strategy using click analytics

The `get_click_analytics` tool feeds live performance data into a debate between your marketing and sales agents in AutoGen. One AutoGen agent might argue for changing the profile layout, while another defends the current strategy using historical click volumes. Once they reach a consensus, the system uses `update_profile` to deploy the agreed changes to your Cnnect digital business card.

Setup guide

Set up Cnnect 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 Cnnect 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="Cnnect_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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