Autonomous monitoring with CrewAI

Assign a dedicated agent to run `list_devices` and `get_device_status` on a schedule. Your crew spots hardware failures before they stop the line. They report back when status drifts. You get a clean summary of your facility health without checking a dashboard.

Collaborative shipping management

Use a specialized agent to `list_shipments` while another agent runs `get_carrier_info`. They share memory to resolve missing paperwork issues. The crew acts as a single unit. They handle the back-and-forth so you don't have to.

Hierarchical logistics control

Set up a manager agent in CrewAI to oversee the tools. It delegates `update_logistics` tasks to subordinate agents based on priority. Efficiency stays high. The manager ensures the right agents handle the right orders at the right time.

Setup guide

Set up Kargo 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 Kargo tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Kargo MCP in CrewAI

Yes. Add the server URL to your agent configuration. The crew gains access to all 10 tools immediately.

Agents pass tool results through shared memory. This keeps context consistent across the entire crew.

Use environment variables for your token. The server handles auth locally so no secrets leave your environment.

It provides shipment manifests and device logs. The server filters out raw database internals.

The server environment is ephemeral. Once the crew task finishes, the connection terminates and clears the session memory.
