How to Use the Grepsr MCP in AutoGen
Let AutoGen agents debate scraping budgets and coordinate complex web extraction workflows using Grepsr.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Grepsr MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Grepsr to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Coordinate Grepsr Crawls via AutoGen Agent Debate
`run_report` triggers a live crawl only after your AutoGen agents reach consensus on the data extraction budget. A budget agent checks `get_usage_stats` while a developer agent requests the run. This multi-agent framework ensures you don't run expensive crawls accidentally. The agents debate the necessity of the run based on historical data fetched from `get_report_history`.
Validate Web Scraping Data Integrity Automatically
`get_report_data` fetches raw records so your QA agent can inspect them for errors. If the QA agent finds missing fields, it instructs the crawler agent to adjust settings. AutoGen's conversational architecture lets agents collaborate on data cleaning. One agent pulls the data, another validates it, and a third decides if a rerun is required.
Configure Webhooks via Agent Consensus
`create_webhook` allows your AutoGen security agent to register endpoints once the system administrator agent approves. This MCP Server tool exposes the active configurations so your agents can verify them using `list_webhooks`. This prevents unauthorized data exposure. The security agent audits active destinations via `list_integrations` before allowing any new webhook creation.
Set up Grepsr 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes Grepsr tools and returns structured results.
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="Grepsr_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Grepsr 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="Grepsr_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Grepsr data")
