How to Use the Forecast MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register Forecast tools in AutoGen?

Install autogen-extmcp and import mcpservertools. Pass the server URL to get the tools, then add them to your AssistantAgent constructor.

Q: How do AutoGen agents resolve conflicting Forecast schedules?

They use structured conversations. One agent checks listmilestones while another checks assignee workloads, debating until they agree on a viable timeline.

Let AutoGen agents debate and resolve Forecast resource conflicts automatically.

Resolve Resource Conflicts with AutoGen Agents

Let multiple agents negotiate project schedules. A resource agent queries `list_people` and `list_tasks` to identify overallocation, while a project agent defends delivery dates using `list_milestones`. They debate until they find a balanced schedule. This MCP server provides the live data feedstock for these multi-agent conversations. Instead of a single model making a guess, you get a consensus-driven schedule adjustment based on real team capacity.

Validate Project Health with Multi-Agent MCP Server Audits

Set up a debate between a budget agent and a delivery agent. The delivery agent pulls project details using `get_project`, while the budget agent checks client metrics via `list_clients`. They cross-reference data to flag unprofitable projects. Using this MCP integration, the agents inspect actual project metrics. This structured debate surfaces hidden risks that a single-agent run would miss.

Automated Task Assignment Negotiation

When a new initiative starts, your agents negotiate the plan. One agent lists the active projects using `list_projects`, while another maps out the individual steps. They coordinate to assign tasks without human intervention. The MCP server handles the communication, allowing AutoGen to execute tools and share the outputs across the conversational swarm. This ensures every agent operates on the same live workspace data.

Setup guide

Set up Forecast 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 Forecast 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="Forecast_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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