How to Use the Docdown MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents search for Docdown templates?

Give your agents access to searchtemplatesbyname. They will query the Docdown API and debate which template ID is the best match for the user's current project.

Q: Can AutoGen verify document fields before calling Docdown?

Absolutely. Use gettemplatefieldschema as a check step. Your agents can compare the user's data against the required schema before they trigger the generatenewdocument tool.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle Docdown document status?

Use getdocumentstatus within your agent conversation. One agent can request the document, while another polls the status until the download URL is available.

Let AutoGen agents debate and execute Docdown document tasks with precision.

Negotiate document generation in AutoGen

Assign the `generate_new_document` tool to your assistant agent. A reviewer agent can then use `get_document_status` to verify if the file meets your quality standards. If the document fails validation, the agents discuss the necessary changes. They iterate until the output matches your requirements.

Multi-agent template discovery for AutoGen

Have one agent scan available templates using `list_doc_templates`. Another agent can use `get_template_details` to confirm if a specific template fits the task at hand. This division of labor improves accuracy. You avoid mistakes by letting agents confirm the template schema before they attempt to populate the document fields.

Automated Docdown account monitoring

Configure an agent to run `get_docdown_account_metadata` periodically. It monitors your limits and alerts you if you approach your usage threshold. This keeps your operations running smoothly. You don't have to check your account manually; your agents handle the status updates for you.

Setup guide

Set up Docdown 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 Docdown 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="Docdown_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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