Negotiate IBKR orders with AutoGen agents

Assign one agent to watch market data via `get_market_data_snapshot` and another to manage `place_order`. They discuss the trade before execution happens. If the market agent sees high volatility, it can challenge the order agent. This prevents rash decisions based on incomplete info.

Multi-agent portfolio oversight in AutoGen

Use `get_portfolio_ledger` to feed your agents an accurate picture of your holdings. A security agent can audit this data against your risk tolerance. If the risk profile is too high, the security agent triggers a warning or cancels pending orders. It's a system of checks and balances.

Manage IBKR sessions within AutoGen

The `tickle_session` tool runs in the background to ensure your agents stay connected. You don't have to worry about session timeouts during a long debate. The agents focus on the trading strategy. The infrastructure stays ready in the background.

Setup guide

Set up IBKR (Interactive Brokers) 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 IBKR (Interactive Brokers) 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="IBKR (Interactive Brokers)_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent IBKR (Interactive Brokers) 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="IBKR (Interactive Brokers)_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent IBKR (Interactive Brokers) data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about IBKR (Interactive Brokers) MCP in AutoGen

You pass the MCP tool list to your AssistantAgent. The agents automatically recognize the tool signatures and debate who should call them.

Yes, agents can use the `modify_order` tool if their discussion leads to a consensus. They can adjust price or quantity based on their internal negotiation.

They do. You can have a group chat where one agent fetches data, another analyzes it, and a third places the trade using the account tools.

You don't. The Vinkius MCP server handles authentication, so your AutoGen agents only interact with the tools, not your login details.

We keep your account ledger and flex reports in an isolated sandbox. Only your authorized agents can access this information during the conversation.
