How do I find my Ele.me App Key and Secret?

Log in to the [Ele.me Open Platform](https://open.shop.ele.me/), register your application, and you will find your App Key and App Secret in the application details overview.

How do I get an Access Token?

Ele.me uses OAuth2. You must perform the authorization flow (linking your merchant account to your application) to generate an access token. This token must be provided in the credentials for this server.

Can I cancel orders through the agent?

Yes! Use the `cancel_order` tool with the specific order ID and a valid reason code. Note that order cancellation usually requires justification and may be subject to merchant policies.

Ele.me Open Platform / 饿了么 + CrewAI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Ele.me Open Platform / 饿了么 MCP Server with CrewAI.

How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?

CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.

Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?

Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.

What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?

CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.

Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?

CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.

Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?

Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
