Chain contact data into reasoning pipelines

Use `create_contact` to push new leads directly into your CRM from any agent flow. LangChain handles the sequence, ensuring every prospect is logged without manual entry. Feed the output of `list_contacts` into your chain to trigger downstream tasks. Your agents now possess a real-time pulse on your entire professional network.

Context-aware interaction retrieval

Invoke `list_interactions` to bring past discussions into your agent's current working memory. You get the full history of every touchpoint before you draft a single response. Combine this with `list_contact_notes` to surface tribal knowledge. No more guessing why a deal stalled or why a candidate hesitated during their last interview.

Automated group-based workflows

Call `list_groups` to segment your database and route tasks accordingly. Your agent decides the next step based on which group a contact belongs to. Fetch precise profile data using `get_contact_details` to verify information mid-chain. It keeps your pipeline velocity high while maintaining data accuracy.

Setup guide

Set up folk MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes folk tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "folk-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent folk transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
