Perplexity

Specialized research agent teams

Assign one agent to search titles and another to audit platform metadata. By using `search_games` and `list_platforms` in tandem, your crew builds a complete picture of a release. Agents share memory, so the second agent knows exactly what the first one found. They work together to finish the analysis without you needing to manage the handoffs.

Autonomous franchise monitoring

Set a monitor agent to watch for new entries in a series. It uses `get_franchise` on a schedule to identify updates and reports back when it sees a change. You don't have to check the database manually anymore. The crew handles the routine monitoring while you focus on the results.

Selective tool exposure

Restrict which tools your agents can use to keep your operations focused. You can provide only `list_keywords` and `list_genres` to a tagging agent while giving a search agent full access to `search_games`. This keeps your agents efficient and prevents them from wasting tokens on irrelevant calls. It is precision work for your automated operations.

Setup guide

Set up IGDB Global Gaming Database 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 IGDB Global Gaming Database tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

    task = Task(
        description="List recent IGDB Global Gaming Database transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about IGDB Global Gaming Database MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL directly into your Agent definition's mcps list. Your agents will gain immediate access to all 12 tools for their assigned tasks.

Yes, agents share context through the crew's memory. If one agent fetches data with `get_game`, the next agent in the sequence can use that ID for further analysis.

It works perfectly. You can have a manager agent oversee the research agents as they query the database, ensuring the final output meets your specific requirements.

The server uses a single endpoint token provided during setup. This token authenticates your crew's access to the database across all agent sessions.

The tools only pull public game metadata, such as release dates, platform lists, and cover art. The server does not interact with any private user or platform account data.
