Perplexity

Debate rates with multi-agent systems

Assign the `get_latest_rates` tool to an analyst agent in your AutoGen group. The agent fetches the data and presents it to other agents for review. If the rates look off or require adjustment for a specific transaction, the agents will debate the implications. They reach a consensus based on the official ECB figures.

Verify currency data through negotiation

Use `get_exchange_rate` to provide a single data point for your agents. One agent may act as a validator to confirm the rate against a secondary source. This setup prevents errors in automated financial decision-making. The agents negotiate until they agree on the final currency value.

Automate multi-currency comparisons

Configure your AutoGen assistants to use `get_multiple_rates` during their planning phase. They can compare different currency strengths to inform their strategy. This negotiation happens in the background. The final output is a result of the agents evaluating the data you requested.

Setup guide

Set up ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates 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 ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates 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="ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates 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="ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
