Debate and Verify Billing with this MCP Server

The `create_invoice` tool initiates the billing process inside your AutoGen multi-agent network. A billing agent proposes an invoice, while a quality control agent reviews the draft to ensure the line items match the project scope. The agents debate the details until they reach a consensus. Once approved, the billing agent calls the tool to write the invoice to Invoice Ninja, ensuring no unverified bills are sent to clients.

Multi-Agent Client Onboarding and Verification

The `create_client` tool registers new customers after your agents verify their company details. One agent checks the corporate registration while another verifies the credit terms. After both agents agree the client is legitimate, the onboarding agent runs the tool to create the profile. If any detail is missing, they run `update_client` to patch the record with the correct information.

Automated Auditing and Account Deletion

The `list_clients` tool lets your audit agents scan your entire customer database for inactive accounts. A financial analyst agent flags candidates for removal based on their payment history. A security agent reviews the list and runs `delete_client` to remove the records once consensus is reached. This automated cleanup process ensures your database remains compliant with data retention policies.

Setup guide

Set up Invoice Ninja (Invoicing & Billing) 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 Invoice Ninja (Invoicing & Billing) 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="Invoice Ninja (Invoicing & Billing)_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Invoice Ninja (Invoicing & Billing) 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="Invoice Ninja (Invoicing & Billing)_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Invoice Ninja (Invoicing & Billing) data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Invoice Ninja (Invoicing & Billing) MCP in AutoGen

One agent can retrieve data using `get_invoice` and share it with the group. Another agent then analyzes the balance and decides whether to trigger `update_invoice` based on the group's consensus.

Yes, you can set up a human-in-the-loop agent or a strict validation agent. The network will debate the action, but the final call to `create_invoice` can require manual confirmation.

You use the MCP tool adapter to convert the server's tools for your assistant agents. The adapter translates schemas automatically, letting agents call `list_clients` or `delete_invoice` directly.

They continue the conversation loop until they resolve the conflict. For example, if one agent flags a balance discrepancy in `get_client`, they will wait to run `update_invoice` using this MCP Server until the numbers match.

Yes, all tool execution occurs within secure, ephemeral sandboxes on Vinkius. Your API tokens and client balances are protected, and the raw financial data is only accessible to your authorized MCP agent network.
