How to Use the Courier MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I pass Courier MCP tools to AutoGen agents?

Install autogen-extmcp. Fetch the tools using mcpservertools and hand the list directly to your AssistantAgent constructor.

Q: Can multiple AutoGen agents use Courier simultaneously?

They share the same toolset. McpToolAdapter converts the schemas so any agent in the conversation can trigger a read or write operation.

Give your AutoGen agents the Courier MCP Server tools to debate and trigger notifications.

Perplexity

Coordinate notifications through agent debate

AutoGen thrives on competing perspectives. You set up a review agent and a dispatch agent, then let them argue over the right time to send a critical alert. The review agent checks contact details using `get_user_profile` to verify preferences. Once they reach a consensus, the dispatch agent fires the alert via `send_notification`.

Audit delivery failures as a team

Troubleshooting dropped messages usually requires multiple pairs of eyes. A team of specialized agents can investigate provider logs together. One agent pulls the raw event types with `get_message_history`. A second agent analyzes the output, debates the root cause, and decides if a retry is necessary.

Manage Courier MCP Server lists dynamically

Subscription lists change constantly. You can build a system where agents negotiate MCP audience segmentation based on user behavior. Your data agent retrieves current counts using `list_subscription_lists`. It discusses the metrics with a marketing agent to decide who gets moved to a different tier.

Setup guide

Set up Courier 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 Courier 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="Courier_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Courier MCP in AutoGen

Install `autogen-ext[mcp]`. Fetch the tools using `mcp_server_tools` and hand the list directly to your `AssistantAgent` constructor.

They share the same toolset. `McpToolAdapter` converts the schemas so any agent in the conversation can trigger a read or write operation.

The agents see the exact error response in the chat thread. They can discuss the failure code and decide on a fallback channel automatically.

The integration relies on Streamable HTTP. You just pass your endpoint URL into the server parameters.

Vinkius handles authentication via a single endpoint token. Your recipient profiles and segmentation filters remain isolated in an ephemeral sandbox, completely invisible to other tenants.
