Multi-agent Jibble collaboration in CrewAI

Assign one agent to `list_time_entries` and another to analyze performance. They share the workload to process large batches of data efficiently. This setup allows for role-based operations. One agent gathers the facts while the other prepares the report for your team.

Project and activity oversight

Use `list_projects` and `list_activities` to monitor progress across your organization. The agents maintain a shared state to ensure consistent reporting. It automates the audit process. You get a clear view of where hours are spent without manual intervention.

Workforce distribution analysis

Query `list_locations` and `list_groups` to track where your team is working. The agents identify patterns and report back on site compliance. Your crew stays on top of the data. They provide updates as the Jibble API reports new entries throughout the day.

Setup guide

Set up Jibble 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 Jibble tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Jibble MCP in CrewAI

You define a crew where agents have access to the MCP server. Each agent uses the tool required for its specific role in the workflow.

Yes, use the tool_filter feature. You can restrict an agent to only use `list_time_entries` while another agent handles `get_organization`.

Agents share memory during the task execution. If one agent retrieves a list of people, the other agents can reference that data in the same session.

Pass the Vinkius URL into your agent configuration. The MCP server handles the connection to Jibble, and your agents start using tools immediately.

All requests are scoped to the specific agent task. Your sensitive organization data, such as employee emails and location logs, is transmitted over an ephemeral, secure connection.
