How to Use the FieldAware MCP in AutoGen
Let your AutoGen agents debate dispatch schedules and invoice approvals using live FieldAware tools.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect FieldAware MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect FieldAware 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.
Debate dispatch schedules in AutoGen
With this MCP server, you can set up an AutoGen conversation where a dispatch agent proposes a schedule using `create_job` and reviews assignments by running `list_jobs`. Do not let a single agent make scheduling decisions in a vacuum. They debate the best routing, check the customer's history with `get_customer`, and only finalize the assignment once they agree. This multi-agent consensus prevents scheduling conflicts and keeps your technicians from getting burned out.
Automate invoice audits
Let your agents negotiate billing discrepancies using this MCP server to pull up invoices with `list_invoices` and `get_invoice`. A billing agent can analyze the costs while an auditor agent compares them against original estimates using `list_quotes`. If the numbers do not match, the agents flag the discrepancy and discuss the fix. They can check the exact parts used by running `list_items` to ensure the customer is only billed for what was actually delivered.
Coordinate asset maintenance
Keep your equipment running with automated checks that query `list_assets` to find the exact machine that needs service. One agent can monitor asset health, while another coordinates to schedule preventive maintenance before a critical failure occurs. Once they agree on the plan, the scheduling agent calls `create_job` to dispatch a technician. This collaborative approach ensures that no critical assets are missed and that maintenance is scheduled during low-impact hours.
Set up FieldAware 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 FieldAware 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="FieldAware_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent FieldAware 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="FieldAware_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent FieldAware data")
