Debate state bills using AutoGen agents

`search_bills` feeds active legislative data into your AutoGen multi-agent debates. One agent can pull bills while another analyzes their economic impact. This consensus-driven approach ensures you don't rely on a single agent's guess. The agents argue over the search results and converge on a verified policy summary.

Analyze bill details with specialized agents

`get_bill_details` provides the granular sponsor and history data your AutoGen agents need to evaluate a bill's chance of passing. A political agent and a legal agent can debate the bill's merits using the same raw data. The McpToolAdapter handles the schema conversion behind the scenes. This allows your agents to call the tool and share the output in their group chat without custom glue code.

Track state dockets using an MCP Server

`get_state_master_list` lets your AutoGen coordinators monitor entire state legislative calendars. The coordinator agent reviews the master list and assigns specific bills to specialist agents for deep analysis. This automates the tracking of complex state sessions. Your agents collaborate to flag high-priority regulatory changes as they appear on the state docket.

Setup guide

Set up LegiScan Legislation Lookup 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 includes mcp_server_tools for 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 AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes LegiScan Legislation Lookup tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

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="LegiScan Legislation Lookup_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent LegiScan Legislation Lookup 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. McpWorkbench is 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=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

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="LegiScan Legislation Lookup_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent LegiScan Legislation Lookup data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
