Perplexity

Coordinate agent debates over Helpwise tickets

The `get_conversation_details` tool feeds raw customer messages into an AutoGen conversation thread where specialized agents analyze the issue. A technical agent drafts the fix, while a quality agent reviews it for tone before sending. This collaborative approach prevents embarrassing automated replies from reaching customers. The agents debate the best resolution path using actual mailbox data before committing to an action.

Automate mailbox routing via AutoGen consensus

The `list_mailboxes` tool allows your supervisor agent to see all active incoming channels. The agent team discusses which department is best suited for the ticket, using `list_team_members` to check agent availability. Once the team reaches a consensus, they assign the conversation to the correct mailbox. This replaces rigid, rule-based routing with flexible, intelligent decision-making that adapts to your team's real-time workload.

Send verified emails using this MCP Server

The `send_email` tool executes only after your AutoGen safety agent approves the drafted response. If the draft contains sensitive information, the safety agent rejects it and forces the writer agent to revise. This multi-agent verification loop guarantees high-quality customer communication. You get the speed of automation with the safety of a multi-step editorial review process.

Setup guide

Set up Helpwise 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 Helpwise 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="Helpwise_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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