How to Use the Impala MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the Impala MCP Server with an AutoGen agent?

You pass the tools resolved by mcpservertools directly into your AssistantAgent constructor. The McpToolAdapter handles the schema translation so your agents can use them immediately.

Q: Can one AutoGen agent search while another checks Impala rates?

Yes, you can assign searchhotelsbycity to a scout agent and getrates to a finance agent. They will share data through the conversational history to find the best deal.

Q: How does AutoGen handle errors from the Impala MCP Server?

If a tool like checkavailability fails, the executing agent receives the error message and explains the failure to the group. The coordinator agent can then decide to switch to a different property.

Q: Is my location search data safe from exposure?

All coordinate queries sent to searchhotels run within an ephemeral V8 sandbox managed by Vinkius. Your search locations and availability checks are never logged or stored, ensuring complete operational privacy.

Let your AutoGen agents debate hotel options and verify pricing using the Impala MCP Server.

Let AutoGen agents debate hotel rates

The `get_rates` tool provides the raw pricing data that your budget and quality agents use during their planning conversations. AutoGen coordinates this dialogue, allowing one agent to push for cheaper rates while another checks reviews. This multi-agent debate ensures your system doesn't just book the first option it finds. By comparing live numbers, your agents reach a consensus that balances cost against guest rating metrics.

Coordinate multi-agent inventory verification

The `check_availability` tool allows your booking coordinator agent to verify room status before finalizing any plans. If a room is locked, the agent communicates the issue to the rest of the group to trigger alternative searches. Having a dedicated agent run `get_room_types` avoids conflicts when multiple rooms are needed. The agents negotiate which configurations fit the group budget before executing the final booking step.

Analyze property media through collaborative discussion

The `get_photos` tool retrieves property image links so your creative and marketing agents can evaluate visual appeal. These agents discuss the aesthetic quality of the hotel to determine if it matches user expectations. While they review the images, a separate agent can call `get_hotel` to match visual assets with physical amenities. This collaborative approach guarantees that the selected property is both highly rated and visually appealing.

Setup guide

Set up Impala 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 Impala 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="Impala_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Impala 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="Impala_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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