How to Use the Hiro.fm MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents resolve conflicts when publishing audio to Hiro.fm?

The editor agent reviews the payload for addaudio and can reject it if metadata is missing. The AutoGen creator agent must then call listaudio to check existing tracks and update the payload before attempting another upload.

Q: Can an AutoGen team manage Hiro.fm contact tags?

Yes, your AutoGen agents can call listtags to audit your taxonomy. They debate which tags to apply to specific contacts and update them to ensure your private Hiro.fm feeds target the right audiences.

Q: How does the Hiro.fm MCP Server handle data privacy during AutoGen debates?

All contact metadata processed by getcontact remains local to your execution environment. The Vinkius sandbox ensures that listener emails are never stored or leaked during AutoGen agent-to-agent negotiations.

Build multi-agent debate loops to manage Hiro.fm audio access and publish episodes with AutoGen.

Perplexity

Debate episode publishing inside AutoGen

Use `add_audio` to publish to Hiro.fm within a multi-agent AutoGen workflow where a content agent drafts show notes and an editor agent reviews them. The AutoGen publisher agent only executes the upload tool once both agree on the final Hiro.fm copy. This consensus-driven AutoGen approach prevents draft leaks and ensures only verified files are uploaded to your Hiro.fm feed. You can configure this Hiro.fm MCP Server toolset directly within your AutoGen AssistantAgent configuration.

AutoGen agents negotiate listener access

Use `grant_access` or `revoke_access` through a two-agent AutoGen verification loop to prevent accidental Hiro.fm customer lockouts. In AutoGen, a billing agent flags unpaid invoices while a retention agent argues for a grace period before terminating Hiro.fm access. The AutoGen agents negotiate the best outcome based on Hiro.fm contact history retrieved via `get_contact`. Once they reach an AutoGen consensus, the winning agent executes the correct Hiro.fm tool to update the listener's status.

Sync Hiro.fm contacts with AutoGen teams

Use `create_contact` to add new Hiro.fm listeners while a separate AutoGen auditor agent runs `list_contacts` to verify the creation. If the AutoGen verification agent detects a duplicate, it coordinates with the creator agent to merge the Hiro.fm records. This collaborative AutoGen setup cleans your Hiro.fm database in real time by using `list_tags` to group users correctly. The entire Hiro.fm sync process runs autonomously using AutoGen's Streamable HTTP transport for fast, multi-agent communication.

Setup guide

Set up Hiro.fm 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 Hiro.fm 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="Hiro.fm_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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