How do I get Erply API credentials?

You need your **Client Code** (found in your Erply account URL) and a **Session Token**. You can generate a Session Token by making a login request to the Erply API using your credentials. Please refer to the Erply API documentation for details on generating long-lived tokens.

Is the inventory data real-time?

Yes, you can use the list_inventory_stock_levels tool to retrieve current available and reserved counts directly from the Erply database.

Can the agent process new sales in the POS?

This integration currently focuses on listing and auditing products, sales documents, and inventory. Processing live transactions should be performed via the Erply POS interface or dedicated hardware.

Erply ERP & POS + CrewAI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Erply ERP & POS 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.
