Perplexity

Role-based contract management

Assign agents to specific legal tasks using a crew. One agent handles `ironclad_list_templates` to find the right document, while another uses `ironclad_launch_workflow` to start the deal. This specialization keeps your contract pipeline moving efficiently. Each agent has a clear purpose and uses the tools best suited for its job.

Autonomous pipeline monitoring

Set up a monitor agent to watch your contract status. It periodically runs `ironclad_list_workflows` to identify agreements nearing their expiration or signature date. It alerts the human team only when intervention is required. Your agent crew maintains the repository's health without constant oversight.

Collaborative negotiation support

Allow agents to share context during a contract review. An analyst agent uses `ironclad_get_comments` to summarize negotiation history for the drafter agent. This shared knowledge ensures your legal team stays informed. Your agents work together to prepare accurate and compliant contract drafts.

Setup guide

Set up Ironclad 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 Ironclad tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Ironclad MCP in CrewAI

Pass the Ironclad MCP server URL directly into your agent's configuration. Your crew will automatically detect the tools and start using them based on their assigned goals.

Yes, you can use `ironclad_get_approvals` to let your agents track the status of pending documents. They can then notify the relevant stakeholders based on the results.

Every request is authenticated via your Vinkius token. Your Ironclad data is accessed only by the agents you explicitly authorize within your crew definition.

Your agents select the appropriate Ironclad tool based on their current task. For example, if an agent needs to find a file, it calls `ironclad_search_records` automatically.

You use tool filters to control access. This ensures your agents only perform actions like `ironclad_list_records` without having permission to launch new workflows.
