Let AutoGen agents resolve booking conflicts

This MCP Server lets your AutoGen agents coordinate schedules by checking availability using `list_space_bookings` and executing reservations with `create_new_booking`. If a conflict arises, the agents debate alternative times based on `list_space_resources` data. They only finalize the booking once they reach a consensus that fits everyone's schedule.

Manage Cobot memberships via multi-agent debate

Your AutoGen agents manage membership audits by pulling `list_cobot_memberships` and checking payment status with `list_cobot_invoices`. The agents compare notes to find active members who haven't paid. They negotiate the best action—like drafting a reminder—before asking for your final approval to send it.

Automate resource planning with this MCP Server

This MCP Server provides the operational data your AutoGen agents need to evaluate space capacity using `get_cobot_space_info` and `list_membership_plans`. By discussing the ratio of members to resources, the agents can suggest when to lock new bookings or open up more hot desks. It gives you an automated operations team that monitors your space.

Setup guide

Set up Cobot 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 Cobot 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="Cobot_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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