How to Use the Harry Potter API MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add the Harry Potter API to my CrewAI setup?

Install crewaitools via pip. Pass the Vinkius endpoint URL into the mcps parameter when defining your Agent. The framework automatically discovers and registers the six available tools.

Q: How do I filter which tools an agent can see?

Import MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp and use the toolfilter argument. You can restrict your combat agent to only see getspells while your historian agent only sees getallcharacters.

Deploy autonomous multi-agent teams to research and analyze the wizarding world using CrewAI and this MCP Server.

Assign Specialized Research Agents

The `get_house_characters` tool allows an agent to pull complete rosters for specific Hogwarts factions. It returns names, roles, and species for anyone in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. You assign this tool to a dedicated CrewAI researcher agent. That agent autonomously gathers the house data, formats it, and passes it down the pipeline to an analyst agent for cross-referencing.

Map Hogwarts Staff and Students

The `get_staff` and `get_students` tools divide the school population into exact roles. One endpoint returns professors with their house affiliations, while the other tracks students by year. Your CrewAI manager agent dictates which tool to call based on the user's prompt. It delegates the student query to a junior agent while tasking a senior agent to compile the faculty list.

CrewAI MCP Server Integration

The `get_spells` tool outputs a massive dictionary of charms, curses, and hexes along with their exact effects. An agent reads this to answer complex lore questions. Connecting this to Python takes seconds. You install `crewai[tools]` and drop the Vinkius URL directly into your agent's `mcps` array. The framework handles the HTTP transport and exposes the tools automatically.

Setup guide

Set up Harry Potter API 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 Harry Potter API tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Install `crewai[tools]` via pip. Pass the Vinkius endpoint URL into the `mcps` parameter when defining your Agent. The framework automatically discovers and registers the six available tools.

Yes. You can attach the server to a single manager agent or distribute it across your entire crew. They share the same HTTP connection to query different endpoints in parallel.

Import `MCPServerHTTP` from `crewai.mcp` and use the `tool_filter` argument. You can restrict your combat agent to only see `get_spells` while your historian agent only sees `get_all_characters`.

The framework natively supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP. For this cloud-hosted Vinkius instance, you configure the HTTP transport to handle the remote connection.

This server reads static lore, specifically character IDs, wand types, and spell classifications. It cannot access your agents' shared memory or contextual scratchpads. Every API call executes within an isolated V8 sandbox that terminates instantly.
