How to Use the Flock MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the Flock MCP Server tools in AutoGen?

You use mcpservertools with your Vinkius Flock endpoint to register the 10 tools directly into your AutoGen agent configuration. The McpToolAdapter automatically handles schema conversion for your AutoGen AssistantAgent interacting with Flock.

Q: Can AutoGen agents manage private Flock groups?

Yes, your AutoGen agents can use groupslistprivate and groupsgetinfo to discover and manage private Flock groups. This allows AutoGen to manage secure conversations within restricted Flock channels.

Q: How does the Flock MCP Server secure private Flock channel data in AutoGen?

The Flock MCP Server executes all channel queries like channelsgetinfo inside a secure V8 sandbox to prevent data leaks in AutoGen. This zero-trust setup ensures your private Flock channel data is never exposed during AutoGen multi-agent negotiations.

Run multi-agent debates in AutoGen to coordinate Flock workspace alerts and verify team memberships automatically.

Perplexity

Coordinate Flock notifications via AutoGen debates.

The `chat_send_message` tool allows your AutoGen assistant agent to post structured FlockML alerts to Flock channels after reaching a consensus. In this multi-agent setup, one AutoGen agent drafts the FlockML payload while a security agent reviews it before posting to Flock. This collaborative workflow ensures that only verified, correctly formatted alerts are sent to your Flock channels by AutoGen. That's how you prevent raw, unformatted text from cluttering your Flock workspace during AutoGen execution loops.

Audit Flock memberships using AutoGen security agents.

The `channels_list_members` tool lets your AutoGen security agent identify active UUIDs attached to a Flock channel before executing sensitive commands. The AutoGen supervisor agent queries this Flock membership list to verify that only authorized users are present. This programmatic verification within AutoGen prevents unauthorized data exposure inside your Flock channels. Using this API tool, AutoGen agents can automatically restrict access based on real-time Flock membership.

Resolve Flock routing in AutoGen multi-agent workflows.

The `roster_list_directory` tool resolves direct human aliases to absolute Flock UUIDs so your AutoGen agents can route tasks accurately. When an AutoGen planning agent assigns a task, it queries the Flock roster directory to find the correct recipient UUID. This dynamic resolution prevents communication failures in complex AutoGen multi-agent pipelines operating on Flock. Integrating this MCP tool allows your AutoGen conversational network to target the right Flock users every time.

Setup guide

Set up Flock 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 Flock 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="Flock_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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