Autonomous scraping in CrewAI

Assign a researcher agent to use `list_extractors` and `run_extractor`. Your crew handles the entire discovery process. Agents decide which tool to use based on the site. You just define the goal and let them work.

Scalable crawls with CrewAI

Use `start_crawl` to gather data across thousands of pages. The crew monitors the job via `get_crawl_status` until completion. It offloads the heavy work to the platform. Your agents only interact with the final structured output.

Data insights for CrewAI

Pass `get_extractor_data` results to your analyst agents. They interpret the JSON and generate reports without human input. It creates a feedback loop for your operations. Your crew learns from the data they extract.

Setup guide

Set up Import.io (Web Data Extraction) 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 Import.io (Web Data Extraction) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent Import.io (Web Data Extraction) transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

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

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.

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="Import.io (Web Data Extraction) Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Import.io (Web Data Extraction) data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Import.io (Web Data Extraction) access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Import.io (Web Data Extraction) transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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