Perplexity

Specialized agent search

Assign a research agent to use `vector_search` for gathering evidence. Your crew can delegate the retrieval task to this specific tool. It ensures your agents only get the relevant vector context they need. This keeps the crew efficient.

Shared database memory

Allow your agents to use `list_tables` and `get_table` to understand the current knowledge base. Every member of the crew shares this view of the data. This builds a consistent state for the entire team. They know exactly what information is available at any time.

Autonomous data maintenance

Task a maintenance agent with `insert_rows` to update the index as the crew generates new insights. Your database grows as the agents learn. This happens without human intervention. The crew keeps its own records updated in LanceDB (Serverless Vector DB).

Setup guide

Set up LanceDB (Serverless Vector DB) 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 LanceDB (Serverless Vector DB) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

    task = Task(
        description="List recent LanceDB (Serverless Vector DB) transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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