Perplexity

Negotiate Dev.to (Forem) content changes

Deploy specialized agents in AutoGen to discuss your drafts. One agent uses `list_my_articles` to check for existing topics, while another challenges the tone before you use `update_article`. They reach a consensus before taking action. This ensures your posts meet your standards through internal deliberation rather than blind execution.

Automate Dev.to (Forem) moderation

Let your AutoGen agents audit organization content using `list_org_articles`. A security agent monitors for risky links while a quality agent reviews the text for clarity. They flag issues for your final approval. By splitting these tasks, your team handles complex moderation requirements that a single agent might miss.

Coordinate Dev.to (Forem) operations

Create a team of AutoGen agents to manage your Forem presence. You assign one agent to handle user inquiries using `get_user` while another prepares draft responses with `create_article`. They communicate to ensure the user gets a timely, accurate reply. Your agents work together to maintain your community engagement without you needing to manage every interaction.

Setup guide

Set up Dev.to (Forem) 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 Dev.to (Forem) 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="Dev.to (Forem)_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Dev.to (Forem) 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="Dev.to (Forem)_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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