Multi-agent transit planning with AutoGen

Assign agents to different roles in your trip planning workflow. One agent calls `plan_trip` to find routes, while another uses `get_network_status` to flag potential delays. They reach a consensus before answering. Your agents discuss the trade-offs between speed and reliability, ensuring the itinerary they present is actually viable.

Automated service disruption negotiation

Handle transit closures through agent debate. If `get_network_status` reports a line closure, your agents must negotiate an alternative path using `search_stops` and `get_line_routes`. This removes the need for manual intervention. The agents iterate until they find a route that avoids the disrupted area, effectively managing the trip logistics for you.

Validate bookings through agent checks

Add a security agent to your AutoGen group to verify booking details. Before executing `book_trip`, the agent checks the cancellation policy and payment requirements returned by the tool. This ensures every reservation is intentional. The agents confirm the booking parameters against the user's constraints, preventing accidental purchases or incorrect service selections.

Setup guide

Set up Lyko 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 Lyko 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="Lyko_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Lyko 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="Lyko_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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

Common questions about Lyko MCP in AutoGen

Use the MCP tool adapter to register the Lyko server tools with your agent constructor. This allows your team of agents to call any of the 12 available functions.

Yes, your agents can compare multiple tool outputs to identify discrepancies. For example, if one agent finds a route and another flags a strike, they can debate the best course of action.

The adapter automatically converts the tool schemas into a format your agents can execute. It handles the request-response cycle, allowing agents to process the transit data as a conversation turn.

Your agents can access any mode provided by the API, including trains, buses, and car-sharing. They can call these tools interchangeably based on the user's travel requirements.

All transit data requests, including stop coordinates and booking details, are processed over secure channels. The server does not persist your travel history, ensuring your itinerary data remains private.
