Debate GovCon API results in AutoGen

Assign one agent to `search_government_contracts` and another to audit the findings. They negotiate the quality of the match until they reach a consensus. This stops your agents from blindly accepting the first result. You get a filtered, debated list of opportunities.

Automate GovCon API status checks in AutoGen

Have a monitoring agent run `check_api_status` before any data-heavy tasks begin. If the server is slow, the agent pauses the workflow. This prevents wasted tokens and failed agent conversations. You ensure your team is always working with a live connection.

Scale GovCon API usage with AutoGen

Multiple agents can call different tools simultaneously. One agent lists agencies while another fetches details for specific IDs. This parallel approach speeds up your research significantly. You get the full picture of an opportunity in seconds rather than minutes.

Setup guide

Set up GovCon API 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 GovCon API 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="GovCon API_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about GovCon API MCP in AutoGen

You give different agents specific roles. One agent requests the data, and the other reviews it for compliance against your criteria.

Yes. If a tool call returns an error, the agent reports it back to the group. The team then decides whether to retry or pivot.

The server handles concurrent requests well. Your agents can query the API without interfering with each other's state.

Pass the server tools to the AssistantAgent constructor. The adapter automatically maps the tool schema for your agents.

Only the data you explicitly request is passed to the agents. The server logs no personal user info, keeping your procurement search private.
