Coordinate Design Pickle crews in CrewAI

Assign a dedicated monitor agent to track your production queue using `get_production_queue_status`. The agent alerts your team when a status changes. This creates a specialized loop where the monitor agent reports back to the crew lead. It keeps your operation running without constant human input.

Analyze Design Pickle requests with CrewAI

Use `list_design_requests` as the primary input for your research agents. They can parse the list and identify which projects need immediate attention. `get_design_request_details` provides the granular data your agents need to make decisions. It functions as the source of truth for the entire crew.

Manage Design Pickle subscriptions in CrewAI

Deploy a management agent that calls `list_active_subscriptions` to check your current plan limits. It keeps you informed on available capacity. This agent can also use `list_brand_profiles` to audit which brands are currently active. It ensures your account settings match your project needs.

Setup guide

Set up Design Pickle 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 Design Pickle tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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