Where do I find my Business and Facility Slugs?

These unique identifiers are assigned to your organization by Kargo. You can find them in your dashboard settings or by contacting your Kargo account manager.

Can I check the status of physical devices in the warehouse?

Yes! Use the `list_devices` tool to see all IoT equipment at your facility, and `get_device_status` for detailed health metrics and last-seen timestamps for a specific unit.

What is the Unified Endpoint used for?

The Unified Endpoint allows you to push external order or shipment data into the Kargo system for automated processing and real-time visibility updates.

Kargo + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Kargo MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Kargo tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
