How to Use the Fax.Plus MCP in AutoGen

Q: Can multiple AutoGen agents coordinate on a single Fax.Plus task?

Yes, one agent can list active numbers using listfaxnumbers and pass that list to a second agent. The second agent then decides which number to use and invokes sendfax to execute the transmission.

Q: How do AutoGen agents resolve conflicts when managing Fax.Plus queues?

Agents discuss queue status retrieved via listoutboxjobs in a shared conversation. If an agent proposes calling canceloutboxjob, other agents can challenge the decision based on the details from getfaxdetails.

Q: Can I use AutoGen to monitor Fax.Plus account limits?

Yes, an agent can periodically call getaccountinfo to check your current plan limits and balance. If limits are close to being exceeded, the agent can alert your team or pause outgoing sendfax tasks.

Q: How is my Fax.Plus account data secured in AutoGen?

All API requests, including sensitive details from getaccountinfo, are routed through a secure local transport. The MCP Server executes in an isolated environment, ensuring your account tokens and transmission histories remain private.

Multi-Agent Consensus with AutoGen

This MCP Server enables cooperative workflows between specialized AutoGen agents. A compliance agent can inspect pending jobs using `list_outbox_jobs` while a budget agent analyzes costs using `get_account_info` before any document is sent. The agents debate whether to proceed with a transmission based on real-time data. Once they reach a consensus, the primary agent executes `send_fax` to complete the delivery securely.

Collaborative Number Selection and Auditing

Let your AutoGen agents negotiate the best telephony setup for your business. One agent searches for numbers using `search_available_numbers`, while another checks your active inventory with `list_fax_numbers` to prevent duplicate purchases. By discussing the options in a shared chat thread, the agents ensure you only provision necessary lines. They use the MCP Server to gather the data required to make an informed, collective decision.

Automated Incident Response and Queue Cleanup

Manage transmission failures through automated agent deliberation. When a delivery fails, an auditor agent pulls the error logs using `get_fax_details` and presents the failure reason to a supervisor agent. If the supervisor agent approves, the system calls `cancel_outbox_job` to clear the queue. This multi-agent feedback loop ensures no transmission is cancelled without thorough, automated analysis.

Setup guide

Set up Fax.Plus 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 Fax.Plus 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="Fax.Plus_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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