How to Use the Harry Potter API MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the Harry Potter API with my AutoGen agents?

You use mcpservertools with StreamableHttpServerParams to connect to the server URL. Then, pass the resulting tools list directly to your AutoGen AssistantAgent constructor.

Q: How does AutoGen handle schema conversion for the Harry Potter API?

The McpToolAdapter in the AutoGen extension automatically handles the translation of the server's schemas. This means tools like gethousecharacters map perfectly to AutoGen's internal function calling format.

Let your AutoGen agents debate wizarding lore and spell matchups using the Harry Potter API.

Debate wizarding duels with AutoGen and this MCP Server

The `get_spells` tool, provided by this MCP Server, feeds your AutoGen agents the raw mechanics, types, and effects of every spell in the Harry Potter universe. You can set up a debate where one agent selects an attack spell and another agent searches for a counter-spell. By using these real-time tools, your AutoGen agents can cross-reference spell types with character stats to determine who would win a duel. The agents negotiate and reach a consensus based on actual API data rather than random guessing.

Verify character lineages with multi-agent consensus

The `get_character` tool allows your AutoGen security and lore agents to verify a wizard's ancestry, house, and patronus before approving them for a task. One agent can fetch the character details while another checks if they meet specific criteria. This multi-agent verification prevents errors when building complex narrative tools. If an agent tries to assign a Slytherin student to a Gryffindor task, the house-checking agent will flag the conflict using data from `get_house_characters`.

Organize Hogwarts academic rosters

The `get_staff` tool lets your AutoGen agents manage school administration tasks by retrieving the active list of professors and teachers. You can have a headmaster agent coordinate with a house ghost agent to assign classes or duties. You can also pull student data using `get_students` to build complete classroom rosters. The automated schema conversion in AutoGen makes it simple to pass these lists between different conversational agents.

Setup guide

Set up Harry Potter API 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 Harry Potter API 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="Harry Potter API_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Harry Potter API 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="Harry Potter API_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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