You pass the server URL in the mcps parameter of your agent definition. CrewAI connects and exposes the tools for your agents to use.

Q: Do I need to manage tool access in CrewAI?

You can use toolfilter to restrict which agents have access to Emma tools. This is useful if you only want your senior agent to run deletegroup.

Agent crews managing Emma

Assign a researcher agent to `list_mailings` and a moderator agent to review the stats. They work together to decide when to launch follow-up campaigns. This setup allows for hierarchical execution. Your agents act as a team, sharing memory and context to finish the job faster than one agent could alone.

Autonomous list upkeep in CrewAI

Let your crew monitor segments using `list_groups`. If a group gets too small, the agent can alert you or take defined actions to re-engage members. It turns list maintenance into an background task. You set the goal, and the agents use the provided tools to keep your data clean and relevant.

Stats analysis with CrewAI

Feed your mailing reports from `get_mailing_stats` into an analysis agent. It can summarize the data and suggest improvements for your next email blast. The agents handle the heavy lifting of parsing JSON results. You just read the final report they generate for you.

Setup guide

Set up Emma 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 Emma tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent Emma 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="Emma Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Emma data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Emma access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Emma transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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