How to Use the Farmonaut MCP in AutoGen
Debate your crop management strategies in AutoGen using live Farmonaut satellite imagery and weather data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Farmonaut MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Farmonaut to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Consensus-based farm management in AutoGen
Assign one agent to monitor `get_ndvi` levels while another manages the irrigation budget. They negotiate the best time to water based on the data points they receive. This prevents rushed decisions. By forcing the agents to debate the satellite indices, you ensure that the final irrigation plan accounts for both plant health and resource costs.
Cross-referenced satellite analysis
Have your agents challenge each other using `get_sar_analysis` and `get_weather_forecast` data. One agent can argue for immediate action while the other checks the satellite backscatter for anomalies. This rigorous process filters out false alarms. It ensures that your farm operations are based on a balanced view of both current weather and deep-tissue crop structure.
Deforestation and compliance monitoring
Use the `get_deforestation_alerts` tool to feed data into a compliance agent. The agents discuss any detected changes in land cover and determine if further manual inspection is required. This keeps your operation transparent. It turns raw change detection alerts into a documented dialogue about land use and environmental stewardship.
Set up Farmonaut 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes Farmonaut tools and returns structured results.
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="Farmonaut_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Farmonaut 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="Farmonaut_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Farmonaut data")
