Debate campaign strategy with AutoGen agents

Configure your agents to discuss findings from `list_email_campaigns` before taking action. One agent can act as an analyst while the other acts as a manager, ensuring every decision is vetted. This eliminates the risk of single-agent errors. The agents challenge each other's conclusions based on the actual data returned from the Dotdigital API.

Automate security checks for marketing programs

Assign a security agent to verify `list_automation_programs` output against your internal compliance rules. If an agent tries to trigger a restricted program, the security agent halts the process. This creates a system of checks and balances. Your marketing automation remains safe because the agents negotiate every step of the workflow.

Converge on contact segments using multiple agents

Use specialized agents to parse `list_address_book_contacts` and reach a consensus on target segments. They compare contact history to ensure your campaigns reach the right audience. This removes the guesswork from segmentation. Your agents deliberate until they agree on the best list, providing a more reliable output than a single model could produce.

Setup guide

Set up Dotdigital 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 Dotdigital 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="Dotdigital_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Dotdigital MCP in AutoGen

Agents share a common tool set and discuss their findings through conversation. They use the MCP server to gather data and then debate the next move.

Yes, you can have a team of agents where one gathers campaign data and another handles the logic for updating your automation programs.

Each agent operates within an ephemeral sandbox. Data is only exchanged between the agents as part of the conversation, and the connection to the API is strictly gated.

It is fully compatible with the tool adapter for AutoGen. You can pass the tool list directly into your AssistantAgent constructor.

The server manages the API requests efficiently. If the agents start debating too aggressively, the server handles the throttling to keep your account within safe limits.
