Perplexity

Specialized agents for billing ops

Assign a monitor agent to watch `list_payment_history` while a moderator agent handles `stop_pending_payment` for flagged transactions. They work together to maintain your billing health. Your crew shares memory of the account state. Agent A identifies a late payment, and Agent B decides whether to cancel it based on the customer's history.

Automated creditor reconciliation

Use `list_account_creditors` to ensure your payouts are hitting the right accounts. A dedicated analyst agent checks this against your internal records every day. It removes manual reconciliation from your plate. The agents verify the data and only alert you if they find a mismatch that requires human intervention.

Scale customer management operations

Your research agent uses `list_customers` to find payers who need mandate updates. It passes the list to an action agent that initiates the contact flow. This is how you handle thousands of accounts without hiring more ops staff. The crew operates autonomously, following the rules you set for them.

Setup guide

Set up GoCardless 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 GoCardless tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent GoCardless 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.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

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="GoCardless Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze GoCardless data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct GoCardless access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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