How to Use the Commission Factory MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I limit which Commission Factory tools an agent can access?

Use the toolfilter configuration option inside the MCPServerHTTP setup. This lets you restrict a junior agent to only view promotions with listpromotions while blocking them from checking financial summaries.

Run multi-agent audits with CrewAI

One agent isn't enough to manage a complex affiliate network. Connecting this MCP Server to your crew lets you set up a researcher agent to run `list_affiliate_merchants` and find high-yield programs, while an analyst agent runs `get_performance_summary` to crunch the historical numbers. The agents share memory and pass context back and forth. This means the analyst agent knows exactly which merchants the researcher selected, allowing it to pull targeted data without repeating API calls.

Automate merchant campaign monitoring

Keeping track of merchant compliance requires constant vigilance. Your monitoring agent can call the MCP Server's `list_merchant_transactions` tool to check your active sales against your program guidelines. If the agent detects an anomaly, it can pass the transaction ID to a moderator agent. That agent then calls `get_transaction_details` to pull the full record and flag it for human review, keeping your program clean.

Scale affiliate outreach and support

Nurturing affiliate relationships takes hours of manual email coordination. You can build a crew where one agent pulls your current partner list using `list_merchant_affiliates` and identifies your top-performing publishers. A secondary writer agent can then draft personalized performance updates or promotional offers based on what it finds. It lets you maintain high-touch communication with hundreds of partners without burning out your team.

Setup guide

Set up Commission Factory 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 Commission Factory tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Commission Factory MCP in CrewAI

The easiest way is to pass your Vinkius HTTP URL directly into the agent's `mcps` array parameter. If you need more control, import `MCPServerHTTP` from `crewai.mcp` and filter the exposed tools before assigning them.

Yes, agents share access to the configured tools through a shared memory pool. For instance, one agent can run `list_promotions` while another analyzes the results, coordinating their work to build a curated deal list.

It supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports. When hosting your connector on Vinkius, you will typically use the Streamable HTTP option for fast, reliable remote execution.

Use the `tool_filter` configuration option inside the `MCPServerHTTP` setup. This lets you restrict a junior agent to only view promotions with `list_promotions` while blocking them from checking financial summaries.

Vinkius executes the MCP Server inside a zero-trust, ephemeral environment. Your merchant transaction histories and affiliate records are processed in memory and never stored on disk, keeping your business data private.
