How to Use the Flexport Logistics MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the Flexport Logistics MCP Server in AutoGen?

Install autogen-extmcp and use mcpservertools with StreamableHttpServerParams pointing to your Vinkius URL. Pass the generated tools list directly into your AssistantAgent constructor.

Q: Can AutoGen agents collaborate to handle order exceptions?

Yes, one agent can detect a failed delivery using getlogisticsorder and pass the context to another agent, which then runs getreturn to verify if the customer has already shipped the item back.

Q: Can I use this MCP Server to automate shipping label printing in AutoGen?

Yes. An agent can check for outstanding shipments using listlogisticsorders and coordinate with a logistics agent to retrieve the necessary documents via listlabels for processing.

Q: Is my warehouse network data safe with AutoGen and this MCP Server?

Your warehouse layout fetched via getwarehousenetwork is processed within your private AutoGen execution loop, secured by the Vinkius sandbox which prevents unauthorized external access to your logistics data.

Let AutoGen agents debate and coordinate your Flexport Logistics operations to prevent fulfillment errors.

Resolve Supply Chain Conflicts with AutoGen Debates

Instead of relying on a single agent that might make mistakes, AutoGen lets you set up multiple specialized agents. A warehouse agent can check stock via `list_inventory` while a finance agent checks order margins, debating the optimal fulfillment strategy before running `create_logistics_order`. This consensus-driven approach keeps your operations safe. If the warehouse agent finds that a product is low on stock using `get_product`, the coordinator agent can halt the order and request a restock instead of blindly submitting a failing request.

Manage Returns and Inbound Shipments Collaboratively

Tracking incoming stock requires coordination between different roles. An inbound tracking agent can monitor shipments via `list_inbounds` and fetch details using `get_inbound`, while a returns agent monitors customer returns using `list_returns`. The two agents exchange messages to balance your warehouse space. They can analyze warehouse capacity using `get_warehouse_network` to decide whether to route incoming returns or new stock to a specific facility first.

Run Complex Order Audits via an MCP Server

AutoGen excels at multi-agent audits where details must be checked against multiple sources. A quality control agent can pull order histories using `list_logistics_orders` and compare them with shipping labels fetched via `list_labels` to ensure no labels are missing. If a discrepancy is found, a dispute agent can pull the exact order details using `get_logistics_order` and flag it for human review. This multi-agent verification reduces shipping errors without requiring constant manual oversight.

Setup guide

Set up Flexport Logistics 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 Flexport Logistics 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="Flexport Logistics_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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