Debate event logistics in AutoGen

Let multiple agents challenge each other using data from `list_events`. One agent might propose a schedule while another verifies room availability via `list_locations`. This approach ensures that every decision is vetted by competing perspectives. It's ideal for complex planning where you need to avoid conflicts before committing changes.

Automate updates with consensus

Require agents to agree before executing `update_guide`. This prevents accidental changes to your event app by forcing a negotiation process between your performance and security agents. It adds a layer of human-like deliberation to your automation. You define the goals, and the agents negotiate the best way to reach them using the server tools.

Integrate Guidebook tools automatically

The adapter handles schema conversion for all 12 tools instantly. You just pass the tools to your AssistantAgent and start the conversation. This removes the need for manual setup or custom wrappers. Your agents see the tools as native capabilities and start using them as soon as the debate begins.

Setup guide

Set up Guidebook 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 Guidebook 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="Guidebook_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Guidebook MCP in AutoGen

Use the server tool parameters to initialize the connection. Once the tools are loaded, assign them to your agents to start the multi-agent planning process.

Yes, they can call tools to fetch data and then discuss the results. This allows the agents to challenge each other's conclusions based on real information.

Vinkius manages all auth via a single endpoint token, ensuring your event data remains secure during agent debates. The agents operate within the sandbox provided by the server.

It provides the raw data agents need to make decisions. Whether you are listing guides or creating items, the tools offer the precision required for agent-driven coordination.

Only the specific data points requested by the agents are processed. The system is ephemeral, meaning no residual state is kept beyond the immediate conversation scope.
