Collaborative Security Auditing with AutoGen

The `list_issues` tool feeds active security vulnerabilities directly into your AutoGen multi-agent system for group analysis. A security-focused agent can review these issues, while a project manager agent checks developer availability using `get_user`. Together, they negotiate whether to assign training immediately or postpone it to the next sprint. This cooperative setup prevents you from overwhelming your engineering team with automated training requests. The agents use the server to pull context, debate the urgency of the vulnerability, and only trigger `create_issue` when they reach a consensus. It replaces dumb automation with smart, context-aware decisions.

Multi-Agent Training Strategy and Content Selection

The `list_content` tool allows your AutoGen agents to browse the entire library of available security lessons to find the perfect match for a code bug. One agent can analyze the CWE details retrieved from `list_vulnerabilities`, while another agent searches the training catalog. They collaborate to find the most targeted lesson, ensuring developers don't waste time on generic training. Once they agree on the best course of action, they can check `list_adaptive_training_plans` to see if a suitable plan already exists. If not, they coordinate to draft a new training path tailored to the specific team. This ensures your training curriculum is always aligned with the actual vulnerabilities found in your code.

Automated Team Performance Reviews via MCP Server

The `get_team_progress` tool provides the raw metrics that your AutoGen agents need to run automated compliance reviews. An auditor agent can query team progress, while a coaching agent drafts personalized encouragement emails for developers who are falling behind. They work together to improve completion rates without requiring manual tracking from your security team. This MCP Server integrates with AutoGen's conversational patterns, allowing the agents to ask each other for clarification before updating records. If the auditor agent notices low completion rates via `get_user_progress`, it can prompt the team lead agent to investigate. This creates a self-managing compliance system that keeps your team on track.

Setup guide

Set up HackEDU (Security Journey) 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 HackEDU (Security Journey) 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="HackEDU (Security Journey)_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent HackEDU (Security Journey) 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="HackEDU (Security Journey)_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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

Common questions about HackEDU (Security Journey) MCP in AutoGen

Use the `autogen-ext[mcp]` package and pass the server's HTTP URL to `mcp_server_tools`. This automatically converts the HackEDU tools into a format that your `AssistantAgent` can call during conversations.

Yes, you can set up a conversation where one agent analyzes a vulnerability via `list_vulnerabilities` and another searches the catalog using `list_content`. They will discuss and agree on the best lesson before calling `create_issue`.

Vinkius manages the authentication layer, so your AutoGen agents only need a single endpoint token. The MCP adapter handles the underlying API headers, keeping your credentials secure and out of the agent code.

Yes, the AutoGen MCP integration supports both transport methods. You can run the server locally via stdio for development or connect to a hosted Vinkius HTTP endpoint for production.

This server manages developer training logs, vulnerability lists, and team structures. All operations run inside an isolated, zero-trust V8 container on Vinkius, ensuring your internal security findings and employee directories remain strictly confidential.
