How to Use the FOSSA (License Compliance) MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I add FOSSA (License Compliance) to my AutoGen agents?

Install autogen-extmcp. Use mcpservertools with StreamableHttpServerParams pointing to your endpoint. Pass the resulting tool list directly into your AssistantAgent constructor.

Deploy autonomous security and legal agents to debate FOSSA compliance findings in AutoGen.

Multi-Agent FOSSA (License Compliance) Audits

The `get_revision_dependencies` tool serves as the factual baseline for your AutoGen conversations over the MCP protocol. A dedicated security agent calls this endpoint to map the software bill of materials. It then broadcasts the dependency list to the rest of the multi-agent chat for analysis. A separate legal agent monitors the same chat. When it sees the dependency tree, it triggers the `get_revision` tool to check the license profiles. If the legal agent spots a GPLv3 package in a proprietary codebase, it flags a violation and forces the engineering agent to propose a replacement.

Autonomous Vulnerability Triage

The `check_vulnerabilities` tool requires precise dependency locators to function. Your AutoGen security agent parses incoming pull requests, extracts those locators, and queries the MCP server. It receives the CVE data and immediately starts a debate about severity. Not every vulnerability requires a broken build. A DevOps agent might argue that a dev-dependency CVE poses zero production risk. The agents negotiate based on the blast radius, which they determine by calling `get_parent_projects`. They only page a human if they reach a consensus that the risk is critical.

Continuous Project Discovery

The `list_projects` tool allows an AutoGen discovery agent to continuously monitor your organization for new repositories. It runs on a schedule, paginating through the FOSSA records to find undocumented software projects. When it finds one, it alerts the compliance team. Once a new project is discovered, the agent uses `list_revisions` to find the initial commit. It hands that revision ID over to the security agent to perform a baseline audit. This multi-agent workflow ensures no new codebase escapes license compliance checks, entirely without human intervention.

Setup guide

Set up FOSSA (License Compliance) 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 FOSSA (License Compliance) 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="FOSSA (License Compliance)_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent FOSSA (License Compliance) 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="FOSSA (License Compliance)_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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

Common questions about FOSSA (License Compliance) MCP in AutoGen

Install autogen-ext[mcp]. Use mcp_server_tools with StreamableHttpServerParams pointing to your endpoint. Pass the resulting tool list directly into your AssistantAgent constructor.

Yes. You define the tools once and assign them to specific agents based on their roles. The legal agent gets the license tools, while the security agent gets check_vulnerabilities.

If an API call fails, the executing agent receives the error message in the chat. It will then debate with the other agents on how to recover, often deciding to retry the request or ask a human for help.

No. The McpToolAdapter in AutoGen handles the JSON schema translation automatically. The agents understand the required parameters for FOSSA functions right out of the box.

The server strictly manages package names, license types, and CVE scores. It cannot access proprietary source code. We enforce zero-trust execution boundaries, meaning the agents can only perform the exact operations defined by the protocol.
