Debate crime statistics using AutoGen multi-agent systems

The `get_national_estimates` tool provides the raw data feed for AutoGen agents to debate and analyze public safety trends. This MCP Server gives your conversational agents the direct evidence they need to challenge assumptions. One agent can call the endpoint to establish a macro baseline, while a second AutoGen agent uses `get_state_summarized` to point out state-level variances that the national average hides. This consensus-driven debate ensures your policy reports are thoroughly vetted by competing analytical perspectives.

Verify local agency data through agent negotiation

The `get_agency_summarized` tool supplies granular local law enforcement metrics to your AutoGen assistant agents. When local reporting is incomplete, your agents negotiate how to weigh the missing data before finalizing their output. The MCP tool adapter handles the schema conversion automatically, allowing your AutoGen agents to focus on analyzing the raw JSON payloads. This setup prevents single-agent bias when evaluating municipal police performance.

Cross-examine demographic patterns with specialized agents

The `get_nibrs_victim_demographics` tool feeds raw demographic statistics directly into your AutoGen conversations. You assign a specialized analyst agent to parse these demographic profiles and flag anomalies. By combining this tool with other data sources in the same conversation, your AutoGen agents evaluate whether local crime trends correlate with broader demographic shifts. The entire process runs over secure, streamable HTTP connections.

Setup guide

Set up FBI Crime Data Explorer 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 FBI Crime Data Explorer 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="FBI Crime Data Explorer_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent FBI Crime Data Explorer 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="FBI Crime Data Explorer_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent FBI Crime Data Explorer data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
