How to Use the Halo Security MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add the Halo Security MCP Server to a CrewAI agent?

Pass your Vinkius HTTP URL directly into the agent's mcps parameter during initialization. This instantly grants the agent access to tools like listtargets and listissues for autonomous execution.

Q: How do CrewAI agents share data from Halo Security scans?

CrewAI's shared memory allows a scanning agent to call triggerscan and write the scan ID to memory. A separate analyst agent then reads this ID to monitor listscans and pull the final risk report.

Q: Can I restrict tools on the Halo Security MCP Server in CrewAI?

Yes. Use the MCPServerHTTP class from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter. This lets you restrict a junior agent to read-only tools like listtechnologies while reserving triggerscan for your admin agent.

Deploy a specialized crew of security agents to hunt vulnerabilities and audit ports using CrewAI and Halo Security.

Perplexity

Multi-agent attack surface hunting in CrewAI

Divide and conquer your external security posture. With CrewAI and this MCP Server, you can assign one agent to discover assets using `list_targets` while a second agent analyzes open vulnerabilities using `list_issues`. A third coordinator agent reads the shared memory to match new targets with their respective issues. This team dynamic ensures your security monitoring runs autonomously without a single agent getting bogged down in raw data.

Autonomous port and certificate compliance

Set up a dedicated compliance squad. Your network auditor agent queries `list_open_ports` and `list_dns_records` to build a map of your external footprint, while your security analyst agent checks `list_certificates` for expiring TLS setups. If the compliance squad finds a mismatch, they collaborate to trigger a deep scan using `trigger_scan`. The agents then review the resulting scan history in `list_scans` to confirm the issue is resolved.

Intelligent technology risk profiling

Keep your tech stack secure without constant manual audits. Your research agent uses `list_technologies` to identify all frameworks, libraries, and web servers running on your public-facing assets. The agent passes this list to a risk analyst agent, who queries `get_security_risk` and `get_issue` to evaluate the threat level of those specific technologies. Outdated software gets flagged before attackers can exploit it.

Setup guide

Set up Halo Security 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 Halo Security tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Halo Security MCP in CrewAI

Pass your Vinkius HTTP URL directly into the agent's `mcps` parameter during initialization. This instantly grants the agent access to tools like `list_targets` and `list_issues` for autonomous execution.

Yes. You can assign a discovery agent the specific task of monitoring your DNS records. When it finds a new subdomain, it uses the `add_target` tool to register the asset for active monitoring.

CrewAI's shared memory allows a scanning agent to call `trigger_scan` and write the scan ID to memory. A separate analyst agent then reads this ID to monitor `list_scans` and pull the final risk report.

Yes. Use the `MCPServerHTTP` class from `crewai.mcp` and apply a `tool_filter`. This lets you restrict a junior agent to read-only tools like `list_technologies` while reserving `trigger_scan` for your admin agent.

Your exposed port configurations and DNS zones are processed entirely in memory during the crew's execution. Vinkius provides an isolated V8 sandbox that secures all API transit, ensuring your network topology is never cached or leaked.
