How to Use the Keen MCP in AutoGen
Let your AutoGen agents debate metrics and write telemetry using the Keen MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Keen MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Keen 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.
Enable AutoGen agents to debate Keen metrics
The `sum_property` tool provides the raw numbers for your agents to debate. A financial agent can run calculations while a marketing agent verifies volume, ensuring both agree before generating a report. If the numbers look off, an agent triggers the MCP tool `count_unique` to drill down into specific properties and resolve the discrepancy.
Automate telemetry verification via AutoGen debates
The `list_saved_queries` tool gives your agents a shared starting point. One agent retrieves the query definition, while another executes it to verify the payload is correct. They check for anomalies together. If a metric exceeds a threshold, they use `record_event` to log an alert directly back into your monitoring collection.
Inspect project metadata across agent conversations
The `get_project_details` tool allows your supervisor agent to verify connection parameters. It passes these details to worker agents so they know which collections to target. The workers then run `list_collections` to map the workspace. This coordinated approach keeps your multi-agent system aligned on the correct data sources.
Set up Keen 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 Keen 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="Keen_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Keen 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="Keen_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Keen data")
