How to Use the Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics MCP in AutoGen

Q: How would I set up an AutoGen team to research a strain's lineage using Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics?

Create two agents. A 'Historian' agent uses searchgenetics to find a strain's parents. It then passes the parent names to a 'Profiler' agent, which uses getstraindetail on each one to report their chemical makeup.

Let your agents debate strain selections. Use AutoGen and Kannapedia to find the best option through conversation.

Consensus-Driven Recommendations

This isn't about one agent finding an answer. It's about a team of agents debating it. One agent can act as a "Patient Advocate," using `search_by_effect` to find strains for 'Sleep'. Another, a "Chemist," can use `search_by_terpene` to check for linalool. They discuss their findings. The Chemist might point out that a suggested strain is high in limonene, which could be counterproductive. Through this back-and-forth, they arrive at a better, more carefully considered recommendation. That's the power of AutoGen.

Assign Roles, Not Just Tasks

Give each agent in your group a specific job. A "Genetics Researcher" agent could be the only one allowed to use the `search_genetics` tool. A "Dispensary Manager" agent could use `get_strain_detail` to check THC and CBD levels. This specialization makes your system more robust. The agents challenge each other based on their unique perspectives and toolsets. It mimics how a real-world team of experts would collaborate, using the Kannapedia database as their shared source of truth.

Plug Kannapedia Into Your Group Chat

Adding the Kannapedia tools to your AutoGen agents is straightforward. The `mcp_server_tools` function makes all four tools—`get_strain_detail`, `search_by_effect`, `search_by_terpene`, and `search_genetics`—available to any agent in your chat. The `McpToolAdapter` handles the schema, so your agents can immediately start calling tools from the Kannapedia MCP server and discussing the results. You're not just writing code; you're orchestrating a conversation between AI experts.

Setup guide

Set up Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics 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 Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics 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="Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics 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="Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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

Common questions about Kannapedia Cannabis Genetics MCP in AutoGen

Create two agents. A 'Historian' agent uses `search_genetics` to find a strain's parents. It then passes the parent names to a 'Profiler' agent, which uses `get_strain_detail` on each one to report their chemical makeup.

Yes, that's a perfect use case. One agent can make a claim, and a 'Fact-Checker' agent can independently use `get_strain_detail` or `search_by_terpene` on the Kannapedia MCP server to confirm the data before the group accepts it.

A user proxy agent can state a need, like "I need to focus." A 'Planner' agent suggests using `search_by_effect`. An 'Executor' agent runs the tool. Then a 'Critic' agent reviews the results and suggests using `search_by_terpene` to narrow it down further.

You assign the tools to specific agents when you create them. You can give your `AssistantAgent` the full list of tools from `mcp_server_tools`, or give one agent just `search_genetics` and another just `search_by_effect`.

The Kannapedia server only sees individual tool calls, like a query for a strain's terpene profile. The conversation itself happens within your AutoGen environment. Vinkius processes each tool call in a stateless, sandboxed instance that is destroyed after use.
