Autonomous research with CrewAI

Assign a research agent to use `list_blog_entries` while a second agent monitors `list_press_releases`. They share memory, so they know exactly what the other has already found. This removes the need for you to manually correlate blog context with formal case releases. The crew handles the synthesis of the information.

Deep document retrieval for crews

Use `get_press_release` to feed specific case facts into your analysis agent. You can tell your crew to only act on cases that meet specific legal criteria. This keeps your agents focused on the high-value documents. They ignore the noise and report only on the data you care about.

Specialized role-based data access

Give your moderator agent exclusive access to `get_blog_entry` to verify policy details before final reporting. You control which agent sees which part of the data. This prevents your agents from acting on incomplete information. Each member of your crew gets only the tools they need to perform their specific role.

Setup guide

Set up DOJ Civil Rights Data 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 DOJ Civil Rights Data tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

    task = Task(
        description="List recent DOJ Civil Rights Data transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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