Perplexity

Specialized scheduling crews

Assign a dedicated monitor agent to track your delivery calendar. Use `get_next_workday` to feed accurate timelines to your execution agents. This keeps your operations running 24/7 without manual intervention. The crew handles the date math, while you focus on high-level strategy.

Role-based calendar auditing

Create a moderator agent to verify holiday impacts. Use `get_holidays` to audit upcoming deadlines for your entire logistics chain. Your agents collaborate using shared memory to flag potential conflicts. It turns a manual HR task into an automated, background operation.

Dynamic operational scaling

Support new regions in seconds. Use `list_supported_countries` to allow your agents to expand their scope automatically as you enter new markets. Your crew stays updated on where they can operate. It makes your global infrastructure flexible and ready for rapid growth.

Setup guide

Set up Holiday 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 Holiday API tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Holiday API MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL into the mcps list of your CrewAI agent definition. The agent gains immediate access to the holiday tools without custom code.

Yes. By passing the country code to the tools, your agents can calculate workdays for different regions simultaneously, preventing scheduling mistakes.

It works perfectly. Your manager agent can request data from the Holiday API, then delegate specific scheduling tasks to the worker agents.

It only touches the ISO country codes and date strings you provide. No internal HR or payroll records are ever exposed to the server.

CrewAI works with SSE or HTTP. We recommend the HTTP transport for this MCP server to keep your agent setup simple and fast.
