How to Use the FireHydrant MCP in AutoGen
Deploy AutoGen agent teams to debate, triage, and resolve FireHydrant incidents through consensus-driven workflows.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect FireHydrant MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect FireHydrant 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.
Multi-agent triage with AutoGen and this MCP Server
Let specialized agents negotiate your outage response using this MCP server. An on-call AutoGen agent can detect an alert, while a security agent checks `list_change_events` to see if a recent firewall change caused it. They debate the root cause before calling `create_incident` with a unified summary. This consensus-driven approach prevents false alarms and duplicate tickets. By requiring agreement before executing `update_incident`, your team avoids noisy notification channels.
Coordinate responder teams and runbooks via debate
When an incident is active, an AutoGen coordinator agent can query `list_teams` and `list_runbooks` to find the best responders and mitigation plans. A separate safety agent reviews the proposed runbook to ensure it won't cause further degradation. Once they agree on the path forward, the coordinator agent uses `add_incident_note` to log the approved plan. Every automated action is fully vetted by multiple agent perspectives before execution.
Automated incident post-mortems and reviews
After an incident is resolved, your AutoGen agents can collaborate to write the post-mortem. One agent pulls the timeline using `get_incident`, while another gathers service context via `get_service`. They compile these facts to draft a retrospective, which is then logged via `list_retrospectives`. Automating the most tedious part of SRE work keeps your technical records highly accurate.
Set up FireHydrant 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 FireHydrant 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="FireHydrant_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent FireHydrant 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="FireHydrant_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent FireHydrant data")
