Perplexity

Feed the rate corridor to AutoGen groups

The `get_all_key_rates` tool injects the main refinancing, deposit, and marginal lending rates into your group chat. Your agents can debate the spread between these numbers before forming a consensus on market direction. If the conversation focuses strictly on primary policy, `get_key_rates` isolates the MRO. One agent pulls the data, while another challenges its relevance to the current macroeconomic environment.

Anchor debates in policy bounds

The `get_deposit_rate` tool provides the hard floor for eurozone money markets. Your risk agent uses this figure to calculate worst-case overnight yields. To find the ceiling, the `get_marginal_lending_rate` tool delivers the maximum borrowing cost. Your performance agent and risk agent negotiate trading strategies bounded by these two absolute limits.

Debate commercial transmission lag

The `get_mfi_rates` tool pulls the actual interest rates commercial banks charge consumers and businesses. This is the reality check for any theoretical policy discussion. Your macro agent compares these retail numbers against the base policy rates. The resulting debate exposes exactly how long it takes for central bank decisions to hit the real economy.

Setup guide

Set up ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking 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 Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking 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 Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking data")

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 Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent ECB Interest Rates — Monetary Policy Rates & Banking data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
