Autonomous market research crews using CrewAI

Assign an agent to call `get_natgas_reserves` and `get_natgas_production`. Your crew can research long-term trends while another agent monitors spot prices. Role-based specialization keeps your research clean. One agent fetches the raw numbers, and another synthesizes them into a report for your team.

Sequential data analysis in CrewAI

Set up a sequence where an agent retrieves `get_natgas_storage` data, then passes the result to an analyst agent. The MCP server serves as the source of truth for the entire crew. This architecture removes manual data gathering. Your agents share the same memory, allowing them to collaborate on complex market assessments without human oversight.

Monitoring market changes with CrewAI

Task a monitor agent with polling `get_natgas_summary`. If the supply-demand balance shifts, the monitor triggers an alert or kicks off a new task for the rest of your crew. Your operation runs around the clock. The MCP server provides the heartbeat, and your crew handles the reaction to changing market conditions.

Setup guide

Set up EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. 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 Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

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

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

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="EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about EIA Natural Gas — Gas Market Intelligence MCP in CrewAI

Pass the Vinkius server URL into your agent's MCP list. CrewAI will then expose the tools to your team of agents for immediate use.

Yes, use the tool filter in your MCP configuration. This prevents specific agents from accessing tools they don't need for their assigned role.

It integrates directly into hierarchical structures. You can grant the manager agent access to all tools while limiting individual workers to specific functions.

Provide your endpoint token during the server connection phase. Vinkius handles the rest, ensuring your agents remain authenticated during their tasks.

The server operates within a V8 sandbox, ensuring total isolation. It only retrieves public energy data and cannot see or export your crew's private internal logs.
