How to Use the IATA Developer Portal MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the IATA Developer Portal MCP server with AutoGen agents?

Use the mcpservertools function to fetch the tools from the Vinkius endpoint. Pass the resulting list directly to your AssistantAgent constructor.

Q: How do agents handle missing airport codes?

If searchairports returns nothing, your verification agent can prompt the search agent to try alternative spellings or check the city details.

Build multi-agent AutoGen teams that debate and verify aviation routes using live reference data.

Perplexity

Multi-agent route debates

The `search_airports` tool gives your AutoGen agents the raw data they need to negotiate flight paths. One agent can propose a hub while another verifies its code to ensure validity. This collaborative check eliminates errors before you write routes to your database. The McpToolAdapter handles all the schema conversions behind the scenes.

Fleet verification workflows

The `search_aircraft` tool allows a specialized fleet agent to inspect plane specifications during a conversation. The agent can flag issues if a proposed plane cannot land at a specific destination. By using `search_airlines`, a separate carrier agent can confirm if the selected operator owns that specific aircraft type. They debate the options until they reach a consensus.

AutoGen MCP Server status monitoring

The `check_api_status` tool allows a supervisor agent to monitor the health of the connection. If the service drops, the supervisor redirects the team to cached local data. You can use `get_city_details` alongside `list_iata_countries` to map out regional restrictions. The agents discuss these constraints to build compliant travel itineraries.

Setup guide

Set up IATA Developer Portal 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 IATA Developer Portal 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="IATA Developer Portal_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent IATA Developer Portal 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="IATA Developer Portal_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent IATA Developer Portal data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
