How to Use the IQAir MCP in AutoGen
Let your AutoGen agents debate and verify real-time IQAir pollution metrics before making critical environmental decisions.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect IQAir MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect IQAir to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Resolve environmental debates with live IQAir data
The `get_city_air_quality` tool serves as the ground truth when your AutoGen agents debate local air conditions. A health agent and a safety agent can query this tool to get real-time pollution metrics, then negotiate the best response based on raw numbers. This eliminates guesswork during agent conversations. Instead of arguing over static or outdated figures, both agents access the same live data to reach a consensus.
Verify local air metrics across agent roles
The `get_nearest_city_air_quality` tool allows your AutoGen agents to automatically detect the local environment based on the client's connection point. One agent pulls the local metrics, while a second agent analyzes the weather data to verify the findings. They coordinate this check without manual intervention. If the data looks anomalous, they call `check_api_status` to ensure the feed is reliable before confirming their decision.
Coordinate regional search paths using the AutoGen MCP Server
The `list_supported_countries` tool provides the geographic boundaries for your multi-agent planning sessions. A coordinator agent queries this list to assign specific countries to sub-agents for deeper analysis. Those sub-agents then run `list_supported_states` and `list_supported_cities` to map out their assigned regions. This structured delegation keeps your multi-agent conversation organized and highly efficient.
Set up IQAir 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes IQAir tools and returns structured results.
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="IQAir_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent IQAir 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="IQAir_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent IQAir data")
