Perplexity

Debate scheduling conflicts

Deploy a performance agent and a logistics agent to negotiate the best slot from `list_time_markers`. They debate the merits of each option until they reach a consensus. This approach solves complex scheduling bottlenecks where multiple constraints apply. You get a decision that accounts for both speed and technician availability.

Automate resource allocation

Use the `list_resources` tool to feed your agents the current state of your workforce. Agents argue over the assignment of tasks based on real-time availability and skill match. This is a collaborative process. By letting agents challenge each other's assumptions, you find better scheduling outcomes than a single script could provide.

Negotiate with ERP context

Agents call `get_job` to verify constraints before finalizing a dispatch decision. They challenge each other if a proposed schedule violates current job requirements. This removes the guesswork from dispatching. Your agents check the facts against the ERP data before they present a final plan to you.

Setup guide

Set up Dime.Scheduler 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 Dime.Scheduler 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="Dime.Scheduler_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Dime.Scheduler MCP in AutoGen

The agents are provided with the tool definitions and decide when to invoke them during their conversation. They negotiate the tool calls based on their programmed objectives.

Yes, by setting up agents with competing priorities, the system naturally resolves scheduling conflicts through debate and consensus.

It is designed to be shared across multiple agents. Each agent can independently query the board to gather data for the group conversation.

You pass the tool list to your AssistantAgent constructor. The adapter takes care of the schema conversion to ensure the agents understand the tool capabilities.

Your job data is transmitted only within the context of the agent conversation. The server uses strict ephemeral sessions to ensure that no data persists after the debate concludes.
