Autonomous hotel research with CrewAI

Assign a research agent to scan cities using `search_hotels_by_city`. While the researcher compiles the list, your analyst agent uses `get_hotel` to pull specific details on each property. Your crew collaborates using shared memory. One agent finds the options, and the next evaluates them against your specific requirements.

Cross-agent inventory management

Distribute tasks across your crew for better performance. One agent focuses on `get_rates` to find the cheapest options while another checks for room availability. It prevents bottlenecks. By splitting the work, your agents complete the entire research process much faster than a single bot could manage on its own.

Automated hotel review analysis

Feed review data directly to your moderation agent. It uses `get_reviews` to pull feedback and then summarizes the sentiment for your final report. This keeps your operations moving without human intervention. The agents handle the data gathering and summarization, handing off only the finished analysis to you.

Setup guide

Set up Impala 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 Impala tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Impala transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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