How to Use the IQAir MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can I filter tools for specific IQAir agents in CrewAI?

Yes. Use the toolfilter option to give only the necessary tools to each agent. Don't give your research agent the status check tool if they don't need it.

Perplexity

Specialized research agents

Assign `get_city_air_quality` to a research agent in your CrewAI setup. While one agent gathers the data, another agent analyzes the trends. This role-based approach prevents bottlenecks. Your agents work in parallel to cover more cities efficiently.

Autonomous location discovery

Configure an agent to use `list_supported_cities` to build a database of targets for your other agents. CrewAI allows this agent to feed its findings to the rest of the crew. It turns a static list into an active research operation. Your agents stay updated without human intervention.

System health reporting

Set a moderator agent to run `check_api_status` periodically. If the connection drops, the agent alerts the team or pauses the operation. This prevents your crew from running into dead ends. It keeps the whole operation running smoothly.

Setup guide

Set up IQAir 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 IQAir tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about IQAir MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL to the mcps parameter in your agent configuration. CrewAI handles the communication, making the tools available to your agents immediately.

Yes. Use the tool_filter option to give only the necessary tools to each agent. Don't give your research agent the status check tool if they don't need it.

It works with the shared memory of your crew. If one agent finds air quality data for a city, the other agents can use that information for their own tasks.

Use a sequential task flow to throttle the requests. By controlling the order and timing of tool usage, you stay within your API quota.

The server acts as a transient bridge. It does not persist your queries or the resulting air quality data. Everything is cleared once the task completes.
