How to Use the Expedia MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register Expedia tools with an AutoGen agent?

Use mcpservertools with the connection details to retrieve the tools, then pass them directly to the AssistantAgent constructor. The McpToolAdapter handles all schema conversions automatically.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle Expedia booking cancellations?

A dedicated cancellation agent triggers cancelflight or cancelbooking. You configure this agent to check refund eligibility and get user confirmation before executing the cancellation.

Let AutoGen agents debate travel options and execute Expedia bookings once they reach a consensus.

Resolve travel trade-offs with AutoGen debates

Let your agents argue over the best itinerary. Set up a budget agent that runs `search_flights` and a convenience agent that checks layovers. They debate the options using real-time data from `get_flight_quotes` until they agree on the best balance. Once they reach a consensus, a third agent executes the booking. This multi-agent debate ensures you don't end up with a cheap flight that has a twelve-hour layover, making your automated travel planning much smarter.

Multi-agent car rental booking in AutoGen

Coordinate complex rental bookings using dedicated agents. One agent uses `search_cars` to find available branches, while another calls `get_car_quotes` to analyze the rates. They negotiate the best vehicle class based on the user's profile. After confirming the details, the coordinator agent invokes `book_car` with the driver's name and email. If the user needs to cancel, a separate support agent triggers `cancel_booking` after verifying the cancellation policy.

Secure booking verification using AutoGen MCP Server

Prevent accidental transactions by separating search and execution roles. In this multi-agent setup, one agent gathers options via `search_properties` and `get_room_quotes`. It presents these to a supervisor agent. The supervisor agent checks the user's constraints and explicitly authorizes the booking agent to run `create_booking`. This division of labor ensures no single agent can initiate a financial transaction without verification.

Setup guide

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

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

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