How to Use the GoCardless MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register GoCardless tools with AutoGen agents?

Use mcpservertools with your Vinkius HTTP URL to fetch the tool definitions. Import the MCP tool adapter to pass this list directly to your AssistantAgent during setup.

Q: Do AutoGen agents initiate GoCardless payments autonomously?

An agent calls createnewpayment based on decisions reached during a conversation. You can set up human-in-the-loop validation to approve the transaction before it executes.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle failed GoCardless mandates?

One agent detects a failed mandate via getmandatestatus and alerts the team. Another agent then queries listpaymentcustomers to find the right contact details for resolution.

Run multi-agent debates in AutoGen to verify billing discrepancies and authorize GoCardless payouts with zero manual intervention.

Resolve billing disputes via multi-agent debate

The `list_payment_refunds` tool pulls reversed payments to help your agents investigate financial discrepancies. In AutoGen, a compliance agent debates a customer service agent to determine why a refund occurred. They cross-reference the data without human intervention. This MCP Server provides the raw transactional facts. Before deciding on a resolution, the agents call `get_payment_details` to verify the exact status of the disputed charge.

Audit mandate approvals automatically using AutoGen

The `get_mandate_status` tool checks the validity of direct debit setups before billing begins. An onboarding agent pulls this status and presents it to a billing agent inside your AutoGen group. They verify the mandate is active before triggering any collections. If the status is pending, the agents call `get_customer_details` to find the customer's contact info. Coordinating these steps lets the system send an automated reminder to the user.

Verify bank payouts through agent consensus

The `list_merchant_payouts` tool retrieves recent bank deposits for group review. Your audit agents compare this list against internal invoices to ensure every cent is accounted for. They must reach consensus before marking the payout as reconciled. Before finalizing, the agents run `verify_api_connection` to ensure the connection to GoCardless is stable. This step prevents partial syncs and keeps your ledger accurate.

Setup guide

Set up GoCardless 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 GoCardless 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="GoCardless_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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