How to Use the FileStack MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I expose FileStack tools to AutoGen agents?

Use mcpservertools with the server URL to load the tools. Pass this list to your AssistantAgent constructor, and the adapter will automatically map the FileStack schemas.

Q: Can an AutoGen agent debate the results of FileStack getocr?

Yes, one agent can use getocr to extract text, while a verification agent reviews the raw metadata via getmetadata to confirm the document's authenticity and resolve parsing discrepancies.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle long-running FileStack video transcodes?

A coordinator agent triggers startvideotranscode and delegates polling to a tracking agent. The tracking agent calls getvideostatus periodically and notifies the group when the video is ready.

Coordinate multi-agent debates in AutoGen to analyze, transform, and validate FileStack media assets before production.

Debate asset safety using AutoGen and FileStack

`get_sfw_status` provides immediate safety classifications that your AutoGen moderator agent uses to filter user uploads through the MCP Server. If an image is flagged, a secondary analysis agent can request further verification to prevent false positives. The moderator agent compares safety scores with output from `get_image_tags` to determine if the content violates policy. This multi-perspective debate ensures that only verified, safe assets proceed to your delivery pipeline.

Optimize image transformations via agent consensus

`generate_transform_url` allows a designer agent to suggest image modifications while a budget agent evaluates performance costs in this MCP setup. They negotiate the optimal crop and compression parameters before generating the final asset link. This collaborative process ensures that images are resized efficiently without wasting API resources. Once both agents agree, the final URL is dispatched to your application frontend.

Manage AutoGen video transcoding pipelines

`start_video_transcode` initiates transcoding tasks that are monitored by a dedicated quality assurance agent. The agent tracks the progress of the transcode and alerts the coordinator agent once the job finishes. By polling `get_video_status`, the monitoring agent can detect processing failures or latency issues. It can then initiate alternative encoding profiles if the primary transcode does not meet quality standards.

Setup guide

Set up FileStack 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 FileStack 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="FileStack_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

A coordinator agent triggers start_video_transcode and delegates polling to a tracking agent. The tracking agent calls get_video_status periodically and notifies the group when the video is ready.

It provides a lightweight way for agents to exchange image specifications. Instead of transferring heavy binary data, agents simply pass the generated URL string back and forth during their negotiation.

The FileStack MCP Server ensures your video and image data remain inside FileStack's secure cloud storage. Your AutoGen agents only exchange secure URLs, metadata, and status tokens, avoiding any local storage of raw binary media files.
