How to Use the itch.io MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I assign itch.io tools to specific CrewAI agents?

You can pass the Vinkius HTTP URL directly in the agent's mcps array. This gives that specific agent access to tools like getusercollections.

Q: How do I limit which itch.io tools a CrewAI agent can use?

Use the MCPServerHTTP class from crewai.mcp and define a toolfilter. This lets you restrict an agent to only run getcollectiongames while blocking profile access.

Analyze Collections with Collaborative Crews

The `get_collection_games` tool retrieves all titles, pricing, and developer details from a specific itch.io collection ID. It serves as the primary data source for your analysis agents. Within a CrewAI setup, one agent can fetch this game list while a secondary writer agent drafts a summary. They share memory, allowing them to collaborate on compiling reports without redundant API calls.

Deploy Multi-Agent Teams with this MCP Server

The `get_user_games` tool accesses your entire library of purchased, created, and collected games on itch.io. This tool provides your agents with a complete view of your gaming history. You can assign a researcher agent to scan this list and identify trends in your developer support. A moderator agent can then cross-reference this list with your active collections to suggest updates.

Verify Agent Identity Before Execution

The `get_me` tool fetches your itch.io profile data, including your username and avatar URL, to confirm your API key works. It acts as a gatekeeper for your autonomous operations. Your crew can run this tool during initialization. If the credentials are valid, the coordinator agent authorizes the rest of the team to begin their analysis tasks.

Setup guide

Set up itch.io 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 itch.io tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about itch.io MCP in CrewAI

You can pass the Vinkius HTTP URL directly in the agent's `mcps` array. This gives that specific agent access to tools like `get_user_collections`.

Yes. The hosted server handles concurrent requests, allowing your researcher and analyst agents to query different collections simultaneously.

Use the `MCPServerHTTP` class from `crewai.mcp` and define a `tool_filter`. This lets you restrict an agent to only run `get_collection_games` while blocking profile access.

It supports standard stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports. For CrewAI, using the hosted HTTP endpoint is typically the easiest way to connect your agents.

Yes. All interactions with your itch.io profile, game, and collection data occur over TLS-encrypted channels directly to Vinkius's zero-trust runtime environments, which discard the session state immediately after execution.
