Perplexity

Autonomous referral monitoring

Assign a monitor agent to periodically call `list_tracked_purchases`. It tracks performance trends and reports anomalies to your team. The agent works in the background without manual oversight. You set the frequency and it manages the execution cycle.

Collaborative reward issuance

Let one agent check `list_referral_rewards` and another agent verify the user status. They share memory to make informed decisions on payouts. This role-based approach keeps your agents focused. One handles the data, the other handles the logic, and the process stays consistent.

Rapid referral code generation

Task your marketing agent with calling `create_referral_code` for new users. It handles the request and stores the result in the shared crew memory. Your other agents can then access this code for automated emails or notifications. It removes the need for manual record-keeping.

Setup guide

Set up Friendbuy MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Friendbuy tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Friendbuy Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Friendbuy data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Friendbuy access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Friendbuy transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Friendbuy Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Friendbuy data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Friendbuy access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Friendbuy transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
