Perplexity

Assign cocktail tasks to CrewAI agents

Give your research agent access to `list_cocktails` and `search_cocktails` to gather data for your team. A separate analyst agent can then use `get_cocktail_stats` to compare recipe profiles for your users. This division of labor keeps your agents efficient. Each agent handles a specific domain of the bartending data.

Collaborative bartending knowledge

Agents share memory to process `list_guides` and `list_techniques` in sequence. One agent identifies the required technique, while the next agent generates the step-by-step instructions for the user. It mimics a real-world kitchen hierarchy. You build a team that actually knows how to make the drink.

Automated recipe discovery

The `get_cocktail` tool provides the specific data your agents need to build menus. Your agents can build a curated list of drinks based on your criteria without you touching a single line of code. It removes the manual work of searching databases. Your crew handles the heavy lifting of finding the right recipes.

Setup guide

Set up CocktailFyi 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 CocktailFyi tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="CocktailFyi Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze CocktailFyi data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct CocktailFyi access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent CocktailFyi 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="CocktailFyi Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze CocktailFyi data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct CocktailFyi access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent CocktailFyi transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
