How to Use the DHL MCP in AutoGen

Q: Can AutoGen resolve DHL address failures autonomously?

Yes, by setting up an AutoGen debate. One agent runs validateaddress, and if it fails, another AutoGen agent suggests corrections until they agree on a valid format for DHL.

Q: How do I install the DHL MCP Server tools for AutoGen?

Run pip install -U autogen-extmcp. Then, use mcpservertools with your Vinkius HTTP server parameters to expose the DHL MCP shipping tools to your AutoGen agents.

Q: Can AutoGen agents track DHL packages and alert customers?

Yes, a dedicated AutoGen tracking agent calls trackshipment at scheduled intervals. If a DHL delay is detected, it drafts an update and hands it to an AutoGen notification agent.

Run multi-agent debates in AutoGen to negotiate DHL shipping rates and validate delivery addresses.

Negotiate DHL shipping costs via AutoGen agents

Let your agents fight over the budget. In AutoGen, you can set up a finance agent that demands low costs and an operations agent that demands speed, using this DHL MCP Server to find the optimal shipping method. The AutoGen operations agent queries `get_rates` for DHL Express Worldwide, while the finance agent analyzes the budget. They debate the trade-offs of transit times versus cost before collectively deciding to trigger `create_shipment`.

Multi-agent DHL address verification in AutoGen

One agent can make a mistake, but an AutoGen consensus group won't. Set up an AutoGen validation loop where an address-checking agent runs `validate_address` and passes the suggestions to a supervisor agent for review before hitting DHL. If the DHL address is ambiguous, the AutoGen agents discuss the corrections. Once they reach a consensus on the correct format, they pass the clean payload to `create_shipment`, ensuring zero manual typos slip through.

Automate DHL customs disputes with AutoGen

When international DHL shipments get stuck, your AutoGen agents can coordinate the fix. An AutoGen tracking agent monitors status via `track_shipment` and flags any DHL customs holds to a document agent. The AutoGen document agent immediately calls `get_proforma_invoice` to retrieve the DHL customs paperwork. It then shares this file with an AutoGen customer relations agent to resolve the clearance issue without human intervention.

Setup guide

Set up DHL 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 DHL 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="DHL_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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