How to Use the Dext MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I load Dext tools into my AutoGen agents?

Use mcpservertools with your HTTP parameters. Pass the resulting tool list into your AssistantAgent constructor, and AutoGen handles the schema conversion.

Q: Can AutoGen agents check Dext bank accounts?

Yes. The listconnectedbankaccounts tool returns the configured extraction sources. Your agents can verify if a receipt matches an active corporate card.

Q: How do AutoGen agents know which Dext categories to use?

A worker agent will call listaccountingcategories to pull the exact chart of accounts. It uses this constrained list to debate the correct classification with the auditor agent.

Deploy multi-agent AutoGen squads to debate, verify, and audit your Dext accounting records.

Perplexity

Let AutoGen agents debate pending Dext approvals

The `list_items_pending_review` tool feeds unverified invoices to a dedicated auditor agent. Instead of blindly accepting the OCR data, a secondary compliance agent challenges the categorization. The auditor fires off `get_item_details` to pull the exact line items and justify its decision. They argue over the tax codes until they reach a consensus. You get a fully reasoned approval log instead of a black-box automated guess.

Cross-examine vendor history autonomously

The `list_extracted_suppliers` tool gives your procurement agent a complete list of recognized vendors. If an invoice arrives from a suspicious new company, a fraud-detection agent steps in to investigate. That agent runs `search_inbox_by_keyword` to see if this supplier has ever billed you before. If the search comes up empty, the agents escalate the invoice to a human manager. This MCP server forces your AI to show its work.

Manage multi-client bookkeeping workflows

The `list_accounting_clients` tool allows a master routing agent to divide work among client-specific worker agents. Each worker takes a client ID and begins processing that specific inbox. When a worker gets stuck on a weird receipt, it uses `list_account_users` to find the primary contact for that specific business. It drafts an email asking for clarification while the rest of the squad keeps crunching numbers.

Setup guide

Set up Dext 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 Dext 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="Dext_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Dext MCP in AutoGen

Use `mcp_server_tools` with your HTTP parameters. Pass the resulting tool list into your `AssistantAgent` constructor, and AutoGen handles the schema conversion.

Yes. The `list_connected_bank_accounts` tool returns the configured extraction sources. Your agents can verify if a receipt matches an active corporate card.

A worker agent will call `list_accounting_categories` to pull the exact chart of accounts. It uses this constrained list to debate the correct classification with the auditor agent.

You can connect via stdio or Streamable HTTP transports. The agents execute the tool calls synchronously and stream their debate back to your console.

Your multi-agent chat history temporarily holds unredacted receipt line items and employee names. Because the MCP sandbox executes the API call locally, you retain full control over where those conversation logs are saved or discarded.
