How to Use the Easyship MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I add the Easyship MCP Server to an AutoGen agent?

Install autogen-extmcp and use the mcpservertools helper. This automatically converts Easyship tools like listlogisticsshipments into a format your AutoGen AssistantAgent can understand and execute.

Q: Can AutoGen agents call Easyship tools during a group chat?

Yes. Any agent in the AutoGen group can invoke tools like getshippingrates and share the returned JSON payload with other agents in the conversation thread.

Q: How is my Easyship shipment data secured in AutoGen?

All API calls, including tracking queries and geteasyshipaccountmetadata checks, run through isolated, single-use V8 environments. Your shipping records and account details are never cached or exposed to external LLM training loops.

Let your AutoGen agents debate shipping costs and coordinate global deliveries using Easyship.

Multi-agent shipping debates using AutoGen

Build a system where your agents negotiate the best shipping routes. This MCP Server lets you build an AutoGen group chat where one agent can query `get_shipping_rates` while a budget agent analyzes the cost. They discuss the tradeoffs in your group chat to find the most economical option. This consensus-driven approach prevents costly logistics mistakes. The agents verify carrier constraints by calling `list_available_couriers` before finalizing any shipping decisions, resolving conflicts before they hit your warehouse.

Automated logistics audits in AutoGen teams

Deploy a dedicated audit team inside your agent network. A quality control agent can run `quick_shipping_volume_audit` to analyze overall success rates, while a tracking agent monitors active deliveries. Any hiccups trigger immediate alerts. If the audit reveals issues, the tracking agent calls `list_failed_deliveries` to isolate the problematic orders. They collaborate to generate a summary report, all without human intervention.

Coordination over active Easyship shipments

This MCP integration keeps your customer support and logistics agents in sync. When a tracking event occurs, your AutoGen coordinator agent triggers a workflow to check `list_in_transit_shipments` and update the team. If an order is missing, the support agent uses `search_shipments_by_reference` to find the exact history. The agents discuss the status and draft a personalized update for the customer based on `get_shipment_details`.

Setup guide

Set up Easyship 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 Easyship 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="Easyship_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Easyship MCP in AutoGen

Install `autogen-ext[mcp]` and use the `mcp_server_tools` helper. This automatically converts Easyship tools like `list_logistics_shipments` into a format your AutoGen `AssistantAgent` can understand and execute.

Yes. Any agent in the AutoGen group can invoke tools like `get_shipping_rates` and share the returned JSON payload with other agents in the conversation thread.

The framework allows agents to debate. A finance agent might reject a high rate returned by `get_shipping_rates`, prompting the logistics agent to query `list_available_couriers` for cheaper alternatives.

Yes. If your AutoGen agent needs to check multiple packages, it can trigger several instances of `get_shipment_details` simultaneously to speed up the tracking run.

All API calls, including tracking queries and `get_easyship_account_metadata` checks, run through isolated, single-use V8 environments. Your shipping records and account details are never cached or exposed to external LLM training loops.
