How to Use the Crafter CMS MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can I set up a CrewAI team to automate content creation and publishing in Crafter CMS?

Yes. You can create a 'Writer' agent using writestudioxml and a 'Publisher' agent using publishcraftercontent. CrewAI's sequential task execution ensures the content is created before it's published.

Q: How would a monitoring agent use CrewAI and the Crafter CMS tools to find issues?

You'd create an agent with a recurring task to call searchcrafterdelivery. It would search for specific patterns you define, like empty image tags. If results are found, it can pass them to another agent for action.

Q: What's a good agent breakdown for managing Crafter CMS sites with CrewAI?

A solid starter crew is a 'Content' agent (writestudioxml), a 'Publishing' agent (publishcraftercontent), and a 'Monitoring' agent (searchcrafterdelivery). This setup separates content creation from deployment and maintenance.

Q: How does CrewAI handle selective tool access for different agents?

When you define your agent in CrewAI, you can pass a toolfilter when configuring the MCP connection. This lets you expose only specific tools, like writestudioxml, to your 'Writer' agent, enforcing role specialization.

Assemble a Content Production Crew

Assign roles to your agents. A 'Writer' agent can use `write_studio_xml` to draft articles. A 'Fact-Checker' agent could then use `execute_graphql_payload` to query existing content and verify claims. Finally, a 'Publisher' agent takes the approved draft and runs `publish_crafter_content` to push it live. CrewAI manages the handoff between agents, letting you build a complete, autonomous content pipeline with this MCP server.

Run a 24/7 Site Maintenance Crew

Design a 'Scout' agent that periodically runs `search_crafter_delivery` to look for outdated content or broken links. When it finds something, it passes the details to a 'Janitor' agent. The 'Janitor' agent can then use `wipe_studio_xml` to remove the flagged content. A third 'Observer' agent can log all actions, giving you a full audit trail of your crew's automated maintenance tasks.

Deploy a User Auditing Team

An 'Auditor' agent can be tasked with running `list_studio_users` and `list_platform_sites` on a regular schedule. It gathers the raw data on who has access to what. This data is then passed to an 'Analyst' agent that compares the current user list against a master list of approved personnel. If it finds a mismatch, it can escalate the finding to a human operator for review. It's a simple way to automate compliance checks.

Setup guide

Set up Crafter CMS 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 Crafter CMS tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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