How to Use the Howspace MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can CrewAI agents manage multiple Howspace workspaces?

Yes, by calling listworkspaces your agents can iterate through every active session. They can perform checks and updates on each one sequentially.

Q: Is it possible to filter Howspace tools for specific agents?

You can use toolfilter when initializing your agent. This limits the agent to only the tools it needs, such as getme or listcampaigns.

Deploy a specialized crew of autonomous agents to manage your Howspace workshops.

Autonomous workshop orchestration with CrewAI

Assign a moderator agent to watch your sessions. Use `list_workspaces` to track activity and `get_workspace` to pull detailed engagement metrics. Your agents can identify inactive sessions and escalate them to human facilitators. It turns passive management into an active, automated process.

Role-based participant handling

Let your research agent find new users and your action agent register them. Use `add_participant` to handle the heavy lifting of enrollment. This separates the task of finding learners from the task of adding them. Each agent does its job without stepping on the others' toes.

Scale campaigns across your crew

Give your crew access to `list_campaigns` so they understand your broader learning goals. They can then create new environments using `create_workspace` as needed. Your agents stay aligned with your strategy. They act on your behalf, ensuring every campaign has the right workspaces ready to go.

Setup guide

Set up Howspace 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 Howspace tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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