How to Use the DVC MCP in CrewAI
Deploy specialized agents in CrewAI to manage DVC experiments and model lifecycle operations.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect DVC MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect DVC to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Coordinate ML model crews
Use `list_experiments` to give your research agents visibility into the current training state. A dedicated monitor agent tracks these results and alerts your human team if accuracy drops. This specialization keeps your agents focused. While one handles data, the other performs the audit.
Access DVC project state
Call `get_project` to provide your CrewAI agents with the necessary context for their specific roles. Each agent knows exactly which project to query, preventing cross-contamination. It makes collaboration between agents predictable. They share the same source of truth for all ML operations.
Streamline view management
Use `list_views` to help your agents navigate complex dataset structures. A moderator agent can verify view availability before the rest of the crew starts their work. It adds an extra layer of validation to your operations. You avoid wasting resources on invalid runs.
Set up DVC MCP in CrewAI
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
crewaipackage (pip install crewai) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install CrewAI
Run
pip install crewaito install the framework. MCP support is built-in via themcpsparameter. - 2
Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the
mcpslist. 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
Crewwith your agent and tasks. Callcrew.kickoff()— the agent will automatically invoke DVC tools as needed.
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
agent = Agent(
role="DVC Analyst",
goal="Access and analyze DVC data via MCP.",
backstory="Expert analyst with direct DVC access.",
mcps=[
"https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
],
)
task = Task(
description="List recent DVC transactions",
agent=agent,
expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)
crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result) Prerequisites

Install dependencies
Run
pip install crewai crewai-tools. TheMCPServerAdapterhandles lifecycle management and tool conversion. - 2
Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use
MCPServerAdapteras a context manager withSseServerParameterspointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle. - 3
Assign tools and run
Pass the returned
mcp_toolsto your agent'stoolsparameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to nativeBaseToolobjects compatible with all CrewAI agents.
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="DVC Analyst",
goal="Access and analyze DVC data via MCP.",
backstory="Expert analyst with direct DVC access.",
tools=mcp_tools,
)
task = Task(

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