Role-based retail crews for CrewAI

Assign one agent to audit store performance with `quick_retail_performance_audit` while another agent focuses on customer outreach. Agents share memory, allowing the researcher to pass findings to the outreach lead. This creates a coordinated effort to manage your retail base.

Autonomous CRM monitoring

Set a monitor agent to watch `list_clienteling_tasks` for new entries. When a task appears, it triggers a second agent to check `get_customer_profile` for context. This sequence happens without you touching the keyboard. The agents handle the entire interaction loop from detection to report generation.

Hierarchical CRM management

Create a manager agent that delegates work based on your CRM data. It uses `list_retail_team_members` to assign tasks to the correct associate. Use sequential execution to ensure notes are reviewed before any action is taken. This maintains a high level of oversight for your retail operations.

Setup guide

Set up Endear Retail CRM 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 Endear Retail CRM tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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