Collaborative Groove support in CrewAI

Assign agents to use `list_tickets` for research and `create_message` for resolution. Your crew members work together to clear the support backlog autonomously. Each agent has a specific role. One agent monitors for new tickets while the other drafts responses, creating a closed-loop system.

Automated status updates for CrewAI

Use `update_ticket_state` to let your agents manage the ticket lifecycle. They close or escalate issues based on the analysis of the message history. This removes manual triage from your plate. The crew follows your instructions to keep the helpdesk organized and current.

Deep ticket analysis with CrewAI

Feed `list_messages` results to your analysis agent. It identifies trends in customer issues and prepares reports based on the actual conversation data. Your agents act on the insights they find. They can draft internal notes or notify team members when a recurring issue appears.

Setup guide

Set up Groove 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 Groove tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent Groove 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="Groove Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Groove data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Groove access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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

Yes. CrewAI allows agents to share memory. Once one agent retrieves ticket details, the rest of the crew can act on that information.

The server manages the connection via your endpoint token. It respects the Groove API constraints while allowing your crew to perform high-volume tasks.

The server ensures that all communication remains isolated. Your ticket and customer data are never exposed beyond the specific agent session.

The server accesses ticket text, customer email addresses, and mailbox identifiers. All data is scoped strictly to the tools requested by the agents.
