How to Use the Envoy MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can I filter Envoy tools for specific CrewAI agents?

You can use the toolfilter option to limit which agents see which tools. This ensures only the visitor agent can access preregistervisitor.

Autonomous desk booking with CrewAI

Assign a dedicated agent to run `list_desks` and `reserve_desk`. It finds the best spot and secures it without any human input. You set the parameters. The agent identifies the desk and manages the reservation start to finish.

Visitor management crews

Create a visitor agent to handle `pre_register_visitor` tasks. It collaborates with your other agents to ensure guests are ready for their arrival. It keeps your guest list accurate. The agent monitors `list_visitors` and updates the team when a guest checks in.

Office oversight via Envoy MCP Server

Deploy a monitor agent to call `get_capacity` and `list_deliveries` at regular intervals. It keeps the rest of your crew informed of the office state. This ensures your agents act on fresh data. They respond to changes in the office environment the moment they occur.

Setup guide

Set up Envoy 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 Envoy tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Envoy MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL directly to the agent configuration. The agents will automatically detect and gain access to all ten Envoy tools.

You can use the tool_filter option to limit which agents see which tools. This ensures only the visitor agent can access `pre_register_visitor`.

Agents share memory of their tool outputs. One agent can call `list_desks` and pass that information to another agent that executes the reservation.

It does. You can connect using stdio, SSE, or Streamable HTTP. Choose the transport that fits your deployment environment best.

Data privacy is maintained through strict scoping of the agent memory. The server treats every interaction as a unique, isolated session that is purged after the task is finished.
