How to Use the MainWP MCP in AutoGen

Q: Can I set up a MainWP security team with AutoGen?

Yes. Create a 'Security' agent that runs scannetworkmalware and a 'SysAdmin' agent that can run upgradesiteresource. They can then debate the risk of a vulnerability versus the stability risk of applying a patch immediately.

Q: What's a good first AutoGen project for MainWP?

Build a two-agent team. One agent periodically calls getpendingupdatescount. If the number is high, it tells a second agent to run listavailableupdates and present a summary to a human for approval before acting.

Q: How do I give the MainWP tools to my AutoGen agents?

Use the mcpservertools function from the AutoGen extension to load all tools from your Vinkius endpoint. Then you pass the resulting tool list into your AssistantAgent's configuration. The adapter handles the rest.

Let your AutoGen agents debate and decide how to manage your WordPress network with MainWP tools.

Debate Security vs. Stability

With AutoGen, you can create a team of agents with competing priorities. A "SecurityAdmin" agent can use `scan_network_vulnerabilities` to find every outdated plugin and will argue for immediate updates using `upgrade_site_resource`. A "StabilityEngineer" agent can push back, using `list_site_plugins` to identify sites with fragile, custom code. These two agents debate the plan, forcing a consensus—like only applying minor patches automatically—before any action is taken. It's decision-making, not just execution.

Automated Audits with an Agent Team

Set up a conversational workflow for network management. An "Auditor" agent can be tasked with checking compliance, using `list_child_sites` and `list_site_plugins` to get a full inventory of every plugin on every site. The Auditor presents its findings to a "Manager" agent. If a non-compliant plugin is found, the Manager can instruct a "SysAdmin" agent to log a ticket or notify a human. This turns the raw output from this MCP Server into a collaborative, automated process.

Collaborative Site Maintenance

Build a maintenance team that talks things through. A "Planner" agent runs `sync_child_sites` and `get_pending_updates_count` weekly. If updates are needed, it proposes a plan to a "QA" agent. The QA agent can then request more information, asking the Planner to run `list_available_updates` to see exactly what's in the queue. Only after the agents review the data and agree on the plan does one of them get permission to execute the `upgrade_site_resource` command.

Setup guide

Set up MainWP 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 MainWP 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="MainWP_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about MainWP MCP in AutoGen

Instead of a single agent acting alone, you build a team. One agent might use `scan_network_vulnerabilities` to find risks, while another agent challenges its plan, forcing a more nuanced, consensus-driven decision.

Yes. Create a 'Security' agent that runs `scan_network_malware` and a 'SysAdmin' agent that can run `upgrade_site_resource`. They can then debate the risk of a vulnerability versus the stability risk of applying a patch immediately.

Each agent's access is limited by the tools you assign it. The MainWP server itself only processes management data like site URLs and plugin version info. All conversations and tool calls happen within Vinkius's ephemeral sandbox, secured by your single API token.
