How to Use the Expedia MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can a CrewAI researcher agent compare Expedia hotels?

Yes. The researcher uses getpropertydetail to fetch granular hotel data, compiling a comparison report for the coordinator agent.

Q: How do CrewAI agents coordinate flight and car bookings on Expedia?

The flight agent uses bookflight first, then passes the arrival time to the transit agent, who calls bookcar to match the landing schedule.

Perplexity

Coordinate multi-agent searches with CrewAI

The `search_flights` and `search_properties` tools allow specialized agents to divide and conquer travel research. One agent scans airfares while another searches for nearby lodging options using the shared region ID. This collaborative approach ensures your CrewAI agents don't step on each other's toes. They share context dynamically, compiling a unified travel dossier before presenting it to the user.

Analyze real-time quotes via CrewAI

The `get_flight_quotes` and `get_room_quotes` tools supply your analytical agents with live pricing benchmarks. An analyst agent can compare these quotes to historical averages to determine if it is the right time to buy. Connecting this MCP Server to your crew gives them direct access to live inventory. This eliminates the risk of agents recommending expired deals or outdated room rates.

Execute bookings using specialized execution agents

The `book_flight` and `book_car` tools are assigned to a dedicated execution agent that only fires after research agents approve the itinerary. This division of labor prevents accidental bookings during the search phase. If an itinerary needs adjustment, the MCP server's `cancel_booking` tool cleans up active reservations. This keeps your autonomous operations organized and financially safe.

Setup guide

Set up Expedia 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 Expedia tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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