How to Use the Common Room MCP in AutoGen
Debate your community strategy with AutoGen agents using live Common Room insights for every decision.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Common Room MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Common Room to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Debate segments using AutoGen agents
Let your agents argue over which members belong in a segment. One agent calls `list_segment_members` while another challenges the criteria. They negotiate until they reach a consensus. You get a final decision backed by live data from the server.
Audit Common Room activity with AutoGen
Assign a security agent to monitor `list_activity_types` for anomalies. If it finds something odd, it reports back to the lead agent for a final review. This multi-agent setup forces deliberation. You avoid impulsive actions by making the agents check each other's work.
Automate consensus with tool adapters
The McpToolAdapter automatically converts your API schema for the agents. They know exactly how to use `search_contacts` to resolve a conflict. They share the results in their conversation history. You watch the debate unfold in real-time as they converge on a result.

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 Room_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,

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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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 Room_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Common Room data")
