Multi-agent debate with Exchange Rates API

Let your agents argue over the best currency strategy. One agent can call `get_latest_exchange_rates` while another validates the risk of that rate against current market trends. This setup forces your agents to reach a consensus. They challenge each other's assumptions based on the raw data retrieved from the server.

Negotiate conversions in AutoGen

Use `convert_currency_amount` within a multi-agent group. A performance-focused agent might demand the lowest conversion cost, while a security agent verifies the rate source. They negotiate until they settle on a final result. You receive the outcome of their deliberation, not just a raw data dump.

Verify market trends via MCP Server

Task your agents with checking `get_currency_fluctuation_data` to detect anomalies. The agents debate whether a spike in volatility warrants an immediate trade or a wait-and-see approach. This ensures your systems act on verified data. The agents cross-reference the API results to ensure the final decision is robust and defensible.

Setup guide

Set up Exchange Rates API MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Exchange Rates API tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="Exchange Rates API_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Exchange Rates API data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="Exchange Rates API_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Exchange Rates API data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Exchange Rates API MCP in AutoGen

You register the server tools with your AssistantAgent. The agents then call these tools during their discussion whenever they need real-time data to support their arguments.

Yes. Once an agent retrieves data, it shares the output in the conversation history. Other agents then use that shared context to inform their next steps.

You can include a moderator agent that monitors the number of tool calls. It can prevent excessive requests to the API during intense debates.

All agent interactions occur within an ephemeral environment. Your proprietary data and API keys are never cached or exposed to external parties.

Every tool, including `get_top_market_rates`, is automatically adapted for AutoGen. You can use the full set of seven tools immediately upon setup.
