Collaborative Dokku control for CrewAI

Assign one agent to `list_apps` while another handles `get_logs` for troubleshooting. Your crew works together to maintain system health. This division of labor ensures that monitoring never blocks deployment. One agent acts as the observer while the other executes the necessary fixes.

Automated app lifecycle in CrewAI

Use `create_app` to build new services and `destroy_app` to decommission them. Your agents manage the entire cluster state. They keep your infrastructure clean by removing unused containers. This reduces overhead and keeps your host running efficiently.

Environment management via CrewAI

Sync configuration across multiple apps using `set_config`. Your agents ensure every container has the correct credentials at all times. This prevents configuration drift across your services. The crew audits your current state with `list_config` and applies updates where necessary.

Setup guide

Set up Dokku 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 Dokku tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Dokku MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL into your agent's MCP configuration. The crew will automatically discover and use the available tools to complete their tasks.

Yes, by assigning them specific roles, they can monitor and act on your infrastructure. They can scale and restart apps without you needing to intervene.

It does. You can have a researcher agent check logs and a manager agent perform the restart. They share the context of the infrastructure.

Your infrastructure access is scoped to the specific agents you define. No external entities can reach your host through this connection.

The agents only see the logs and configuration values you explicitly allow. They do not access your raw database contents or user records.
