Consensus-Driven Order Verification with AutoGen

This Commerce Layer MCP Server allows you to set up multi-agent debates in AutoGen to verify orders before completion. One agent uses `create_order` to draft the transaction, while a separate risk-assessment agent inspects the output for unusual patterns. The agents discuss the order details in a chat loop, resolving flags before final submission. This multi-agent verification reduces fraudulent transactions without requiring manual human review.

Automated Price and Promo Negotiations

This toolset exposes `list_prices` and `list_promotions` to your AutoGen agent group. You can configure a sales agent to pitch products to a customer agent, dynamically calculating discounts during the conversation. The sales agent queries the live promotion list to find matching discount codes, while the customer agent evaluates if the offer meets their budget. They negotiate the final cart contents entirely through structured agent dialogue.

Multi-Agent Shipping Coordination

By linking `list_shipments` and `list_addresses` to AutoGen, your logistics agents can coordinate complex shipping tasks. A warehouse agent checks package statuses while a customer relations agent drafts updates for the user. The agents pass messages back and forth to resolve delivery delays. If a shipment is flagged as delayed, the logistics agent alerts the customer agent to draft a proactive apology email.

Setup guide

Set up Commerce Layer 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 Commerce Layer 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="Commerce Layer_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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