Multi-agent research crews

Assign `ai_web_search` to a research agent and `summarize_text` to an analyst agent. Your crew collaborates by sharing memory and results across these tools. This MCP Server acts as the source of truth for your agents. They pull data, process it, and pass it along without manual intervention.

Automated content moderation

Deploy a moderator agent equipped with `check_nsfw_image` and `check_profanity_text`. It scans your incoming data streams and filters out content before it reaches your main agents. It effectively removes the noise. Your primary agents only deal with clean, verified data, improving the quality of your final output.

Visual data processing

Use `extract_text_from_image` as a tool for your agents to "see" and interpret documents. The agents handle the image-to-text conversion automatically. Translate the results using `translate_text` if your crew operates across multiple languages. It keeps your operations global and efficient.

Setup guide

Set up JigsawStack 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 JigsawStack tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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