How to Use the FinLegal MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I connect CrewAI agents to the FinLegal MCP Server?

Pass your Vinkius HTTP or SSE endpoint URL directly to the mcps parameter when defining your CrewAI agents. The framework automatically discovers tools like getcase and makes them available to the crew.

Q: Can CrewAI agents collaborate on a single FinLegal claim?

Yes. A risk-assessment crew can have one agent run getclaim while a supervisor agent uses createactivity to log the final funding decision, coordinating their work through CrewAI's sequential execution model.

Q: How do I restrict write access to FinLegal tools in CrewAI?

Use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter. This allows you to expose read-only MCP tools like listclaims to junior agents while reserving createclaim for admin agents.

Q: How do I build a new legal activity template?

Use listactivitytemplates to inspect current templates. While you can't create templates directly through the MCP server, you can use these IDs to spin up activities with createactivity.

Q: How is litigation funding financial data protected in CrewAI?

Your claim financials and litigation details retrieved via getclaim are never stored by Vinkius. Every tool execution runs in an ephemeral, single-use V8 sandbox, ensuring sensitive case data is discarded the moment your crew finishes its run.

Deploy a specialized crew of litigation agents using CrewAI and the FinLegal MCP Server.

Run multi-agent legal operations in CrewAI

Legal funding operations are too complex for a single agent, but a crew can coordinate using `get_contact_by_email`. The intake agent uses the email tool to locate files, while the analyst agent runs `get_claim` and `list_activities` to assess funding risk. They collaborate in a shared memory space to produce a single risk profile. This multi-agent approach ensures no warning signs are missed.

Automate litigation case tracking

Tracking hundreds of active lawsuits is easier when your agents use `list_claims` to scan the pipeline. The agent queries the pipeline to find active files, then digs into details with `get_case`. If the agent notices a case has stalled, it uses `create_activity` to schedule a follow-up task. It pulls structural requirements from `list_attribute_templates` to ensure the new activity complies with firm standards.

Restrict write access to FinLegal tools in CrewAI

You don't want your research agent modifying client data, so restrict access to `update_contact`. This MCP Server lets you restrict tool exposure using CrewAI's `tool_filter` configuration. Give your research agent read-only tools like `get_claim` and `list_claims`. Save write operations like `create_claim` for your administrative agent.

Setup guide

Set up FinLegal 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 FinLegal tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent FinLegal 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="FinLegal Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze FinLegal data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct FinLegal access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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