How to Use the IP2WHOIS MCP in CrewAI

Q: Which tool should my CrewAI agent use to find domain owners?

Your agent should call getdomaincontacts to retrieve registrant and administrative contact details. Note that many domains use privacy protection, which often redacts this information.

Deploy autonomous security crews that track domain registrations and monitor expirations using CrewAI and this MCP Server.

Coordinate multi-agent domain triage in CrewAI

`lookup_domain_whois` runs autonomously when assigned to a specialized research agent in your CrewAI setup. While the research agent gathers ownership details, an analyst agent evaluates the risk profile of the registrar returned by `get_registrar_info`. This division of labor allows your crew to process complex alerts without manual intervention. The agents pass structured JSON payloads between themselves, utilizing shared memory to build a detailed threat dossier.

Automate renewal tracking using this MCP Server

`check_domain_expiry` allows a dedicated monitoring agent to audit your entire portfolio of corporate domains. The agent flags any domain nearing its expiration date and assigns a renewal task to your operations agent. By running this check on a schedule, you prevent accidental domain drops. The crew monitors the expiration dates and cross-references them against active registration states to ensure critical infrastructure remains secure.

Map adversary infrastructure with CrewAI agents

`lookup_hosted_domains` gives your threat-hunting agents the ability to map out shared hosting environments. When an agent discovers a malicious domain, it immediately queries the host IP to find neighboring sites. A second agent then runs `check_domain_age` on each neighbor to isolate fresh registrations. This collaborative analysis exposes coordinated phishing campaigns before they target your users.

Setup guide

Set up IP2WHOIS 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 IP2WHOIS tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="IP2WHOIS Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze IP2WHOIS data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct IP2WHOIS access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent IP2WHOIS 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="IP2WHOIS Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze IP2WHOIS data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct IP2WHOIS access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent IP2WHOIS transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about IP2WHOIS MCP in CrewAI

Pass your Vinkius HTTP endpoint directly into the agent's mcps parameter. For advanced configurations, use MCPServerHTTP to filter specific tools for individual agents.

Yes, CrewAI agents use shared memory to pass WHOIS records between themselves. When one agent runs lookup_domain_whois, the resulting data is available to all other agents in the crew.

Your agents execute queries sequentially or hierarchically based on your crew configuration. To prevent rate blocks, you should configure task delays or handle API limits at the Vinkius gateway level.

Your agent should call get_domain_contacts to retrieve registrant and administrative contact details. Note that many domains use privacy protection, which often redacts this information.

Yes, all queries pass through the zero-trust Vinkius sandbox. Your domain query history and API authentication tokens are never logged or stored on external servers.
