How to Use the GiveForms MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register GiveForms MCP Server tools with an AutoGen agent?

Install autogen-ext and use the mcpservertools helper with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass the generated tools array directly to your AssistantAgent configuration.

Q: Can AutoGen agents collaborate to verify a specific GiveForms donation?

Yes, one agent can retrieve the record using getdonationdetails while a second agent verifies the donor's email using finddonationsbyemail. They will discuss the results to confirm the transaction is valid.

Q: How can I list recent transactions using AutoGen?

You can configure an agent to call listrecentdonations on a regular schedule. The agent can then summarize the latest transactions for the rest of your agent team.

Deploy multi-agent AutoGen teams using this MCP Server to audit records and analyze GiveForms donation data automatically.

Let AutoGen agents debate donor records

The `list_recent_donations` tool feeds the latest contributions into your AutoGen discussion loop. AutoGen allows you to set up a multi-agent system where different agents handle different aspects of an audit. One agent can pull records using this tool while another agent cross-checks those names against a blacklist using `find_donations_by_name`. They debate the results in a shared chat channel to ensure accuracy. This consensus-driven approach stops errors before they end up in your accounting software.

Cross-examine donor details using multiple tools

The `find_donations_by_email` tool lets your agents cross-examine and verify specific donor accounts. Your agents can run this tool to locate a donor, then have a separate security agent call `get_donation_details` to verify the transaction ID. If the details don't match, the security agent flags the record for human review. This automated double-check prevents fraudulent records or system glitches from messing up your financial reports. It runs entirely in the background without manual intervention.

Multi-agent coordination for campaign summaries

The `list_campaign_donations` tool collects specific campaign stats for cooperative agent reporting. A reporting agent can call this tool to gather campaign metrics while an admin agent runs `get_organization_info` to get the correct metadata. They compile their findings into a single, verified report. Before finalizing, a supervisor agent can run `verify_api_connection` to ensure the data source remains active and reliable throughout the entire session.

Setup guide

Set up GiveForms 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 GiveForms 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="GiveForms_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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