Perplexity

Role-based room management

Assign a moderator agent to monitor room activity with `list_active_users`. If a room stays empty too long, the agent uses `delete_room` to clean up resources. This creates a self-maintaining environment. Your agents specialize in different tasks, ensuring the infrastructure stays lean without manual oversight.

Shared memory and storage

The `initialize_storage` tool sets up the base state for a new project. Your agents share this memory to coordinate their efforts on complex documents. It acts as the single source of truth. Every agent in the crew calls `get_storage` to ensure it is working on the latest version of the document.

Real-time presence tracking

Agents use `set_presence` to signal their activity to the rest of the team. This allows human users to see what the agent is currently doing in the room. It provides transparency. By observing the presence data, you know exactly which agent is holding the lock or performing an update at any given time.

Setup guide

Set up Liveblocks (Collaborative) 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 Liveblocks (Collaborative) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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