Autonomous invoice monitoring

Assign a monitor agent to watch your pipeline using `list_invoices`. It alerts you if a payment remains overdue for too long. This removes the need for manual check-ins. Your crew keeps the books balanced while you focus on other work.

Specialized task analysis

Let your research agent pull data with `list_tasks`. It aggregates hours and compares them against your service agreements. It provides a clear report for the rest of your crew. You get actionable insights without digging through raw logs yourself.

Collaborative billing crews

Configure your crew to act on insights. One agent retrieves data with `get_time_logs`, while another generates drafts using `get_invoice`. They share context to ensure accuracy. It creates a closed-loop system for your entire freelance operation.

Setup guide

Set up Lancerkit 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 Lancerkit tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent Lancerkit 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.

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.

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="Lancerkit Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Lancerkit data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Lancerkit access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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