Autonomous tracking crews in CrewAI

Assign a monitor agent to use `track_shipment` on a loop. It watches for status changes and alerts your team if a delivery stalls. This keeps your operations proactive instead of reactive. Your crew handles the tracking so you don't have to check dashboards manually.

Logistics research agents in CrewAI

Let a research agent use `find_locations` to locate the nearest drop-off point for your drivers. It parses opening hours so you know exactly where to go. It saves your team from digging through site maps. The agent finds the right facility based on the services available.

Multi-step shipping coordination in CrewAI

Create a team where one agent calls `get_rates` and another selects the best option. They share memory to coordinate the entire booking process. This makes your logistics operations autonomous. The crew manages the handoff from quoting to booking without needing your input.

Setup guide

Set up DHL 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 DHL tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about DHL MCP in CrewAI

Yes. By providing the MCP server to your agents, they can use `create_shipment` to book deliveries as part of their assigned tasks.

Absolutely. You can add a mandatory `validate_address` check to your agent's process to ensure every DHL shipment goes to a valid destination.

It processes tracking numbers, package weights, and delivery addresses. It does not store your history beyond the active session.
