Perplexity

Run multi-agent debates with AutoGen MCP Server tools

`list_press_releases` allows your legal analyst agent to fetch the latest civil rights enforcement filings from the DOJ. In an AutoGen group chat, this agent can present the raw filings to a defense agent, initiating a structured debate over the policy implications of the data. Because AutoGen relies on agent conversation, one agent can challenge the findings of another. They negotiate and reach a consensus based on real, verifiable government records rather than guessing.

Deep dive into cases via collaborative agents

`get_press_release` retrieves the complete text of a specific filing when an agent identifies a critical UUID during group discussion. The agent shares this full text with the rest of the conversation group for deeper analysis. A security agent can review the text for compliance, while a research agent extracts key legal arguments. This collaborative workflow ensures that no single agent makes decisions based on incomplete case data.

Analyze policy blogs with specialized agents

`list_blog_entries` fetches official Department of Justice blog updates to give your agents qualitative context on civil rights enforcement. An agent can track these posts to understand the agency's shifting focus areas over time. If a blog post requires closer inspection, the agent calls `get_blog_entry` to bring the full article into the group chat. The agents then collaborate to draft policy briefs or alert your team to new federal priorities.

Setup guide

Set up DOJ Civil Rights Data 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 DOJ Civil Rights Data 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="DOJ Civil Rights Data_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent DOJ Civil Rights Data 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="DOJ Civil Rights Data_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent DOJ Civil Rights Data data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
