How to Use the Housecall Pro MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register Housecall Pro tools with AutoGen agents?

Use mcpservertools with your server URL to retrieve the MCP tools. Pass this tool list to your AutoGen AssistantAgent constructor, and the adapter handles the schema conversion.

Q: Can AutoGen agents debate Housecall Pro dispatch decisions?

Yes, you can set up a dispatch agent using listtechnicians and a routing agent using listjobs. They will negotiate the best assignments through a multi-agent conversation loop.

Q: How does AutoGen handle Housecall Pro API errors?

If a tool like listinvoices fails, the executing agent receives the error. It can then discuss the failure with other agents in the group chat to decide whether to retry or escalate.

Coordinate complex field operations in AutoGen with multiple agents debating dispatching, invoicing, and job scheduling.

Perplexity

Resolve scheduling conflicts through agent debate

`list_technicians` retrieves your active workforce roster so your AutoGen dispatch agent can propose assignments. If a technician is double-booked, a separate scheduling agent flags the conflict using `list_jobs` and proposes an alternative. This multi-agent debate ensures you don't send the wrong tech to an urgent call. The agents negotiate the schedule until they converge on the most efficient route.

Validate billing accuracy via AutoGen MCP Server

`list_invoices` feeds raw billing data to a financial agent tasked with checking unpaid accounts. A separate customer service agent cross-references this with `get_customer` to ensure we don't harass loyal clients over minor disputes. By letting these specialized agents debate the risk, you avoid awkward billing mistakes. They only trigger payment reminders once both agree the invoice is overdue and correct.

Approve estimates using consensus-driven logic

`list_estimates` exposes pending quotes to an estimation agent that checks them against your standard catalog using `list_price_list_items`. A supervisor agent reviews the output and demands justification if a quote deviates from the norm. This debate happens completely behind the scenes before you send anything to a client. Your team only sees the final, verified estimate that both agents signed off on.

Setup guide

Set up Housecall Pro 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 Housecall Pro 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="Housecall Pro_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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