How to Use the Keywords AI MCP in CrewAI
Deploy autonomous multi-agent teams in CrewAI to monitor, analyze, and optimize your LLM gateway traffic.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Keywords AI MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Keywords AI to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Assign a Dedicated Gateway Monitor
The Keywords AI MCP Server exposes `list_alerts` and `check_keywordsai_status` so you can dedicate a specific CrewAI agent entirely to uptime monitoring. This monitor agent constantly watches the gateway, looking for latency spikes or rate limit warnings. When the monitor finds an issue, it passes the context to a moderator agent. The moderator then adjusts your application's routing logic to avoid the degraded provider. It is entirely autonomous system administration.
Generate Automated Usage Reports
`get_analytics`, `get_usage_stats`, and `list_requests_by_model` give your research agent the raw data needed to audit your entire engineering team's LLM spend. The agent pulls the metrics, categorizes the costs, and identifies which models waste the most tokens over the MCP protocol. Another agent takes that analysis and formats it into a weekly markdown report for DevOps. You get a complete breakdown of where your API budget went without writing a single SQL query or opening a dashboard.
Audit Team Activity with CrewAI
`list_users` and `get_user` allow your security agent to track exactly who has access to your gateway. It cross-references active team members against your internal directory to find orphaned accounts. If a user shows unusual activity, the agent uses `list_requests` to pull their recent API calls. The crew analyzes the payloads for prompt injection or unauthorized model usage, acting as an automated security guard for your LLM infrastructure.
