How to Use the JigsawStack MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register JigsawStack MCP tools with an AutoGen agent?

You use the autogen-extmcp extension to connect to the Vinkius endpoint. Pass the generated tool list to your AssistantAgent constructor to make them available.

Q: Can multiple AutoGen agents use JigsawStack tools in a single conversation?

Yes, any agent in your group chat can invoke tools like extracttextfromimage if registered. The group manager routes the tool call based on the conversation flow.

Q: How does AutoGen handle schema conversion for JigsawStack MCP tools?

The McpToolAdapter converts the JSON schemas automatically. This translation ensures your AutoGen agents understand the exact parameters required for each tool.

Let AutoGen agents debate and process web data using JigsawStack MCP tools.

Verify scraped data via multi-agent debate

The `ai_web_scrape` tool retrieves clean web data based on natural language prompts. This tool provides raw content that your AutoGen scraper agent passes to a critic agent. The critic agent reviews the extracted text for accuracy and completeness before approving it. If the data is incomplete, the agents negotiate a new search strategy using `ai_web_search`.

Deploy moderation agents using this MCP Server

The `check_nsfw_image` tool scans image URLs to detect explicit visual content. This tool allows your safety agent to flag problematic media before other agents process it. Concurrently, a text-focused agent uses `check_profanity_text` to evaluate conversation logs. The agents collaborate to quarantine unsafe files and alert human administrators automatically.

Translate and summarize text across AutoGen agents

The `translate_text` tool converts text between languages to enable cross-border communication. This tool allows localized AutoGen agents to translate incoming foreign payloads before analysis. A secondary agent then calls `summarize_text` to compress the translated document into a concise brief. This cooperative loop reduces token overhead across your entire multi-agent conversation.

Setup guide

Set up JigsawStack 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 includes mcp_server_tools for 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 AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes JigsawStack tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

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="JigsawStack_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent JigsawStack 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. McpWorkbench is 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=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

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="JigsawStack_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent JigsawStack data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Yes, any agent in your group chat can invoke tools like `extract_text_from_image` if registered. The group manager routes the tool call based on the conversation flow.

The `McpToolAdapter` converts the JSON schemas automatically. This translation ensures your AutoGen agents understand the exact parameters required for each tool.

The adapter returns the error string to the active agent. The agent then shares this failure with the group, allowing other agents to suggest alternative parameters.

Every text payload and image URL is transmitted via HTTPS and processed in transient memory. Vinkius isolates the connection, ensuring your conversational data never persists on disk.
