How to Use the Formstack MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do agents debate Formstack changes in AutoGen?

You give agents access to tools like updateform. They discuss the proposed changes and only execute the tool once they align on the plan.

Q: Can AutoGen manage Formstack submissions via debate?

Agents use listsubmissions to pull data. They then cross-reference findings to agree on the interpretation of the collected information.

Q: How do I use Formstack and AutoGen for form design?

The agents use createform as part of their collaborative workflow. They suggest fields based on your goals and finalize the form structure through discussion.

Debate Formstack configurations in AutoGen

One agent proposes a structure using `create_form` while another reviews it for data validation. They negotiate the schema until it meets your requirements. This deliberation process happens before any changes hit your account. It prevents poorly planned forms from entering your production workflow.

Resolve Formstack intake issues in AutoGen

If a submission fails validation, an agent calls `get_submission_details` to diagnose the error. It then presents the findings to the team for a consensus decision. Agents use `list_submissions` to compare current intake patterns against historical logs. They debate the cause of discrepancies to reach a verified conclusion.

Coordinate Formstack webhooks with AutoGen

Your security agent checks `list_form_webhooks` to ensure no unauthorized endpoints exist. It then debates with the ops agent on where to deploy new `create_webhook` targets. This ensures your webhook architecture remains secure and intentional. The agents reach an agreement before executing any changes to your production environment.

Setup guide

Set up Formstack 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 Formstack 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="Formstack_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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