How to Use the HetrixTools MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents coordinate on a HetrixTools alert?

One agent monitors health using listuptimemonitors and shares failures in the chat. A second agent then calls setmaintenancemode once the group agrees on the fix.

Q: Can AutoGen handle HetrixTools bulk reports automatically?

Yes, your agents can pull reports using listbulkreports. A data analyst agent parses the report while a manager agent decides if any action is needed.

Q: How do AutoGen agents prevent HetrixTools API rate-limiting?

The agents check getaccountusage before running heavy tools like checkipblacklist. If credits are low, they negotiate to delay non-critical checks.

Q: Can I use these tools to clean up old monitors?

Yes, your agents can compare active monitors from listuptimemonitors against your database, then call deleteuptimemonitor once they confirm a target is retired.

Let your AutoGen agents debate infrastructure alerts and coordinate HetrixTools maintenance tasks.

Multi-Agent Incident Remediation

This MCP Server enables your AutoGen security and operations agents to collaborate on system alerts using `list_uptime_monitors`. When a server goes down, the operations agent proposes a failover while the security agent verifies the impact. The agents debate whether to silence alerts using `set_maintenance_mode` based on current traffic. Once they reach a consensus, the chosen agent executes the command and confirms the status using `list_uptime_reports`.

Consensus-Based Blacklist Mitigation in AutoGen

The `check_ip_blacklist` tool allows your AutoGen agents to verify mail server health from different perspectives using this MCP Server. A deliverability agent might demand an immediate IP change, while a budget agent reviews `get_account_usage` to see if they can afford the API calls. By running `check_domain_blacklist` and sharing the output in the group chat, the agents decide on the best remediation path. They can also audit active monitors using `list_blacklist_monitors` to ensure no blacklisted assets are missed.

Automated Monitor Provisioning

The `add_uptime_monitor` tool lets your provisioning agent set up new targets after negotiating settings with your network agent. They use `list_contact_lists` to agree on who should receive downtime alerts. If a monitor becomes obsolete, the agents discuss the decommissioning process before calling `delete_uptime_monitor`. This multi-agent review prevents accidental deletion of critical production uptime trackers managed by the MCP Server.

Setup guide

Set up HetrixTools 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 HetrixTools 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="HetrixTools_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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