How to Use the Files.com MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can I limit which Files.com tools a CrewAI agent can use?

Yes. Use the toolfilter option in CrewAI to restrict specific agents. For example, you can let your researcher agent use getfiledetails while restricting deletefile to your admin agent.

Q: How do I configure CrewAI to connect to the Files.com MCP Server?

Pass the Vinkius URL directly into your agent's mcps array. CrewAI will automatically discover and load the 8 available tools, including listpermissions and listusers.

Q: How does the Files.com MCP Server secure my user group data when using CrewAI?

All interactions with the listusergroups tool go through our zero-trust V8 sandbox. Your group names and membership rosters are never written to disk, protecting your organization's internal structure.

Run multi-agent audits on your Files.com directories

Let a team of specialized agents scan your storage. One CrewAI agent can run `list_folders` via our MCP Server to find active directories, while a second agent analyzes the results to flag empty or abandoned folders. Because they share memory, the analyzer agent knows exactly which paths to check without repeating API queries. This coordination makes large-scale directory cleanup fast and efficient.

Automate user provisioning with this MCP Server

Delegate team onboarding to an autonomous crew. Your admin agent uses `list_users` to identify new hires, while a provisioning agent uses `list_user_groups` to determine their team assignments. The agents work sequentially to ensure every new user is placed in the correct group. This eliminates manual setup errors and keeps your user directory perfectly synchronized.

Monitor and purge unauthorized file access

Set up a security crew to watch your file sharing. A monitor agent continuously pulls logs using `list_activity_history` to spot suspicious downloads or external sharing events. When it detects an anomaly, it passes the file path to a moderator agent, which immediately calls `delete_file` or updates permissions to quarantine the asset.

Setup guide

Set up Files.com MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Files.com tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Files.com Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Files.com data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Files.com access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Files.com transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Files.com Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Files.com data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Files.com access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Files.com transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
