How to Use the Expedia Vrbo MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the Expedia Vrbo MCP server with my AutoGen agents?

Install the extension package and use the mcpservertools helper with your Vinkius connection URL. Pass the resulting tool list to your AssistantAgent constructor. The MCP tools are then handled automatically, translating schemas without manual conversion.

Q: Can an AutoGen agent cancel a booking using the Expedia Vrbo integration?

Yes, agents can execute cancellations. The cancelitinerary tool allows your system to automate cancellation workflows if project dates change. We recommend setting up a human-in-the-loop validation step before triggering this destructive action.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle rental availability checks via Expedia Vrbo?

Your agents call getrentalcalendar to retrieve real-time booking availability. They can parse this data to find open dates or identify price spikes, allowing them to negotiate the optimal booking window autonomously.

Q: What is the best way to verify property amenities programmatically?

Use the getunitamenities tool within your agent workflow. It returns structured JSON data containing categories like kitchen, safety, and entertainment, which your agents can parse using simple logic filters.

Build multi-agent AutoGen workflows that debate, compare, and book Expedia Vrbo rental properties automatically.

Let AutoGen agents debate property options

Using `search_rentals` feeds live property listings directly into your multi-agent conversation. You can set up a budget agent to filter costs while a comfort agent checks properties using `get_rental_details`. These agents negotiate within your script to find the best compromise. Resolving locations with `search_rental_regions` allows them to compare regional pricing trends dynamically.

Automate calendar checks and amenity validation

Calling `get_rental_calendar` provides the raw data your scheduler agent needs to identify open booking windows. The agent cross-references these dates with your team's availability to find matching slots. Meanwhile, a quality-assurance agent calls `get_unit_amenities` and `get_rental_reviews` to verify the property meets your standards. If reviews flag poor internet, your agents reject the listing and look for alternatives.

Secure booking execution with AutoGen and MCP

Evaluating `check_rental_policies` acts as a guardrail before any financial transaction takes place. Your risk-assessment agent reviews the cancellation terms to ensure you do not lose money on tight schedules. Once all agents reach a consensus, executing `book_rental` secures the property. Immediately after booking, the server registers the guest information and returns the final itinerary.

Setup guide

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

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

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