Debate contract terms with AutoGen

Task your security agent with reviewing `get_agreement` results while your operations agent prepares a counter-proposal. They negotiate based on the actual contract metadata until they reach a consensus. This framework forces your agents to challenge each other's assumptions about agreement status. It prevents errors by requiring multiple perspectives before the agent finally calls `send_agreement`.

Manage webhooks with AutoGen agents

Assign an agent to monitor `list_webhooks` and confirm the correct endpoints exist. If a webhook is missing, the agent uses `create_webhook` to fix the configuration automatically. This ensures your notification pipeline stays active. The agents coordinate to verify that status updates reach your system without human intervention.

Audit templates using AutoGen

Have your agents compare `list_templates` against your internal requirements. If an agent flags a missing template, it can ask for clarification or suggest an alternative from your account. This deliberation process happens before any final action is taken. Your agents ensure the right contract template is selected by checking it against the specific needs of the deal.

Setup guide

Set up Common Paper 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 Common Paper 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="Common Paper_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Common Paper MCP in AutoGen

Pass the tool list into the AssistantAgent constructor. The agents then decide which tools to call during their conversation to get the information they need.

Yes. You can assign multiple agents to analyze the same agreement data, allowing them to debate the terms or status before moving forward.

It is straightforward. Use the McpToolAdapter to handle the schema conversion and pass the server tools directly to your agent group.

The agents continue their conversation until they reach a consensus. You can monitor the chat logs to see exactly how they arrived at a decision regarding your contracts.

No data is stored by the MCP server. Each request is ephemeral and handled over a secure, authenticated connection between your agents and the Common Paper platform.
