How to Use the Cnnect MCP in CrewAI
Deploy specialized agent crews using CrewAI and the Cnnect MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Cnnect MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Cnnect to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Specialized crews for Cnnect
Assign a dedicated agent to monitor your card activity. By using `get_card_details`, your research agent can flag high-value leads for a second agent to act on. This hierarchical approach keeps your networking organized. Each agent has a specific role and only accesses the tools it needs.
Automated lead processing in CrewAI
Your crew can ingest data from `list_leads` and filter it based on your criteria. One agent fetches the list, while another classifies the contact quality. It acts as your personal assistant for networking. You get a summarized report of the day's activity without lifting a finger.
Shared memory for Cnnect tasks
CrewAI agents share context about your business card interactions. If one agent updates your bio with `update_profile`, the rest of the crew knows the new contact info. Your operations stay consistent across the board. Every agent works from the same source of truth.
