Perplexity

Specialized agents for HUD data collection

Assign a research agent to use `get_fmr_data` while a separate analyst agent processes the results. CrewAI coordinates these roles to ensure your housing reports are drafted without human input. The shared memory feature allows agents to pass findings between themselves. This creates a cohesive pipeline for large-scale data gathering.

Autonomous geographic surveying

Deploy a team to crawl through `list_metro_areas` and `list_counties` to identify regional disparities. Your agents work in sequence to build a map of current market conditions. This removes the burden of manual research. The agents handle the tool calls and report their findings back to your central dashboard.

MTSP compliance monitoring

Task your agents with monitoring `get_mtsp_il_data` for updates. They can flag discrepancies between current local rents and HUD limits automatically. It turns a manual compliance check into an autonomous routine. Your agents handle the heavy lifting of periodic data verification.

Setup guide

Set up HUD Fair Market Rents 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 HUD Fair Market Rents tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent HUD Fair Market Rents transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

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

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="HUD Fair Market Rents Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze HUD Fair Market Rents data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct HUD Fair Market Rents access.",
