Can I see the code a candidate wrote in a pad through the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_pad_session_details` tool with the pad ID. The agent will return the current `contents` of the pad, allowing you to review the code without opening your browser.

How do I check the full event log for an interview session?

Use the `get_pad_event_log` tool. Your agent will fetch a play-by-play history of all actions in the pad, which is useful for auditing the candidate's process and execution steps.

Where do I find my CoderPad API Key?

Log in to CoderPad, navigate to **Settings**, and select **API**. You can generate and copy your API key from that section.

Why Use AutoGen with the CoderPad MCP Server

AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with CoderPad through the Model Context Protocol.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use CoderPad tools to solve complex tasks

Role-based architecture lets you assign CoderPad tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates

Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive CoderPad tool calls

Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes CoderPad tool responses in an isolated environment

CoderPad + AutoGen Use Cases

Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the CoderPad MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Collaborative analysis: one agent queries CoderPad while another validates results and a third generates the final report

Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from CoderPad, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output

Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using CoderPad data to make informed decisions about resource distribution

Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process CoderPad responses in a sandboxed execution environment

CoderPad + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating CoderPad MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call CoderPad tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
