Perplexity

Run AutoGen agent debates on Droplet configurations

By running `list_cloud_firewalls` and `list_compute_droplets`, this multi-agent setup enables consensus-driven decision making across your DigitalOcean infrastructure. A security agent runs the firewall tools to analyze open ports, while a performance agent runs the compute tools to verify instance sizes, debating the optimal configuration before presenting a final recommendation. This conversational approach ensures that DigitalOcean infrastructure changes are thoroughly vetted by your AutoGen agents. The agents challenge each other's assumptions using raw data from `get_droplet_details`, preventing configuration drift and reducing human oversight.

Coordinate database and app platform audits

This monitoring tool relies on `list_managed_databases` and `list_app_platform_services` to set up dedicated AutoGen agents that track your DigitalOcean databases and applications using this MCP Server. One agent manages the database state, while another tracks application deployments to ensure your web services are properly connected to their backends. The AutoGen agents communicate with each other to verify that database connection strings match active clusters. By automating this cross-agent verification, you can catch misconfigured DigitalOcean environment variables before they trigger production outages.

Analyze storage costs and project boundaries

This financial audit tool runs `list_cloud_projects` and `list_block_storage_volumes` to optimize your DigitalOcean cloud spend by letting AutoGen agents debate resource allocation. An analyst agent maps out logical boundaries, while a storage agent identifies orphaned disks that are running up your monthly bill. The AutoGen agents negotiate which volumes can be safely flagged for deletion based on active project associations. This collaborative audit gives your engineering team a clear, justified list of cost-saving recommendations for your DigitalOcean footprint without manual checking.

Setup guide

Set up DigitalOcean 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 DigitalOcean 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="DigitalOcean_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about DigitalOcean MCP in AutoGen

AutoGen uses an adapter to convert the DigitalOcean server's tools into a format compatible with its conversational assistant agents. This allows agents to call tools like `get_account_metadata` during their multi-turn conversations.

Yes, by allowing one AutoGen agent to list configurations with `list_cloud_firewalls` and another to inspect domains via `list_dns_domains`, they can debate and isolate DigitalOcean network routing issues without human intervention.

Yes, the AutoGen framework can handle async execution of DigitalOcean tools like `list_compute_droplets` and `list_block_storage_volumes`, enabling multiple agents to gather infrastructure data concurrently during their planning phase.

AutoGen supports both stdio and streamable HTTP transports to connect to the DigitalOcean server. Vinkius handles the connection details, allowing your agents to communicate with the API using a single secure endpoint token.

Yes, because the server only exposes structural DigitalOcean network metadata like firewall rules from `list_cloud_firewalls` and domain records from `list_dns_domains` to your AutoGen session. No active network packets, payload data, or private encryption keys are ever accessed or transmitted.
