Multi-Agent Cloud Oversight

Assign a monitoring agent to track your fleet. It uses `list_compute_droplets` to keep a running inventory of your active instances. A separate moderator agent receives these updates. It decides if the system needs further investigation.

Database and Storage Inventory

Maintain a full view of your data layer. Your agents call `list_managed_databases` and `list_block_storage_volumes` to ensure all storage is accounted for. The crew identifies orphaned volumes automatically. It keeps your cloud spend optimized without human intervention.

Account Metadata and Scaling

Track your account limits and growth. The `get_account_metadata` tool provides the usage stats your agents need to forecast needs. Your crew evaluates these limits. It alerts the team if your resource usage approaches the account cap.

Setup guide

Set up DigitalOcean 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 DigitalOcean tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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