Collaborative currency tracking with CrewAI

Assign one agent to `get_latest_rates` while another analyzes the results. CrewAI coordinates these agents so they share the same data context. It turns a single request into a team effort. You get a complete view of the market without manual intervention.

Autonomous currency conversion tasks

Let your crew use `convert_currency_pair` to handle multi-currency transactions. The agents coordinate to ensure the math is right before acting. This is ideal for agents that need to process payments autonomously. You define the role, and the agent handles the conversion.

Supported currency inventory management

Use `list_supported_currencies` to keep your agents updated on what the system can trade. The agents check the list before attempting a conversion. This prevents errors by ensuring the agents only act on valid currency pairs. It keeps your operations clean.

Setup guide

Set up ExchangeRate-API 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 ExchangeRate-API tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about ExchangeRate-API MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL into the agent's MCP list. Each agent in the crew will gain access to the tools defined in the server.

Yes. CrewAI uses shared memory to pass the results from one agent to another. This keeps the crew synchronized.

It does. You can have a manager agent delegate rate checks to a research agent. The manager then makes the final call.

Use the tool_filter option in your agent configuration. You can restrict which agent gets access to historical or live data.

The server runs in a local sandbox. Only the rate data you request is transmitted, and it stays within your secure agent execution environment.
