Agents debate booking options

Set one agent to find hotels with `search_hotels` while another evaluates them using `get_guest_reviews`. They discuss the findings until they agree on the best match. It removes bias from your decisions. By having multiple agents challenge each other, you get a more balanced view of your potential stay.

Negotiate prices with AutoGen

Use `get_rate_plans` and `price_check` to let your agents compare costs. If one agent finds a high price, another can flag it and search for better alternatives. It ensures you get the best value. The agents negotiate based on the data returned by the tools, ensuring they don't settle for a bad deal.

Securely manage reservations

One agent initiates `book_hotel` while a security agent checks the details. They verify the itinerary against your requirements before finalizing the reservation. It adds a layer of safety. You define the rules, and the agents verify that every booking meets your specific criteria before they execute the write action.

Setup guide

Set up Expedia Hotels 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 Expedia Hotels 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="Expedia Hotels_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Expedia Hotels 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="Expedia Hotels_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Expedia Hotels data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Expedia Hotels MCP in AutoGen

Yes, you can assign different roles to your agents. One can fetch the data, and another can analyze it to ensure the booking meets your quality and budget standards.

You configure a verification agent that reviews the output of `price_check` and `get_rate_plans` before the `book_hotel` tool is ever called.

The agents communicate in a shared conversation history. They pass tool results back and forth to reach a consensus on the final travel itinerary.

The server exposes the tools to the group chat. Any agent in your team can request to call a tool, and the system handles the execution through the MCP connection.

The information is only used when the booking tool is triggered. Since the communication happens within your private agent environment, your guest details are not shared with any third-party indexing services.
