Audit project budgets with CrewAI teams

The `list_project_hour_budgets` tool gives your CrewAI team the exact financial limits for every active construction site. You can assign a specialized auditor agent to scan these budgets, compare them with `list_time_transactions`, and flag discrepancies to the supervisor. This multi-agent setup replaces manual spreadsheet checks. The agents share context dynamically, identifying budget drift before it impacts your cash flow.

Automate site expenses with this MCP Server

The `create_cost_transaction` tool allows your purchasing agent to log material costs the moment they are approved by the manager agent. By using this MCP server, the crew coordinates the entire purchasing flow from initial request to ledger entry. This autonomous pipeline prevents double-entry errors and delays. The supervisor agent reviews the transaction details, while the accountant agent executes the write.

Resolve worker identity mapping autonomously

The `list_employees` tool lets your coordination crew map raw timesheet names to official corporate IDs. When a subcontractor submits hours, a resolution agent queries the roster to find the correct employee ID before writing the record. This step prevents broken database relationships and manual cleanup work. Once resolved, the agent triggers `create_time_transaction` to log the hours against the correct project.

Setup guide

Set up Exact Online Bouw 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 Exact Online Bouw tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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