How to Use the Jservice MCP in AutoGen
Let your AutoGen agents debate and verify Jeopardy! trivia clues.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Jservice MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Jservice to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Run multi-agent trivia debates using Jservice
Right. So. The `get_category` tool provides the raw factual foundation that your AutoGen agents need to run competitive trivia games. One agent pulls the category data, while another agent attempts to solve the clues and a third validates the answers. This collaborative loop ensures high accuracy. The agents debate the nuances of each clue returned by the server before presenting the final answer to the user — I'll take that for 200.
Filter clues dynamically across AutoGen MCP Server agents
The `get_clues` tool allows your specialized AutoGen agents to query specific segments of the Jeopardy! database. A coordinator agent can request clues from a specific date, while a filtering agent discards duplicates or irrelevant values. This division of labor keeps your token usage down. Instead of one agent doing all the work, separate agents handle fetching, sorting, and verification of the trivia payloads — and this matters — for keeping conversations fast.
Inject random trivia into AutoGen conversations
The `get_random_clues` tool lets an orchestrator agent pull unexpected trivia on demand to test other agents in the group. You can set up automated game loops where agents challenge each other's knowledge using fresh API data. By calling `get_categories` first, your agents can negotiate which topics to tackle next. They debate the difficulty of the categories before calling the server for the actual questions.
Set up Jservice 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes Jservice tools and returns structured results.
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="Jservice_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Jservice 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="Jservice_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Jservice data")
