How to Use the MakePlans MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can a CrewAI agent book appointments in MakePlans autonomously?

Yes. By giving an agent access to createbooking and listavailableslots, it can negotiate times with customers and book the appointment. You can set up a moderator agent to oversee these actions if you want an extra layer of safety.

Q: How do CrewAI agents handle service updates in MakePlans?

Agents use listservices to fetch the latest offerings and pricing. If you update a service name or duration in MakePlans, the agents immediately adapt their booking logic without requiring any code updates.

Collaborative booking management via MCP Server

`list_bookings` lets your CrewAI agents audit existing schedules to spot conflicts or double-bookings. One specialized agent can pull the booking list, while another analyzes it to optimize staff schedules. This cooperative approach ensures that your calendar remains clean. The agents pass structured data among themselves, allowing them to resolve scheduling issues without human supervision.

Dedicated staff assignment and lookup

`list_people` retrieves your staff list so your CrewAI agents can match the right person to each new appointment. The research agent identifies the best qualified staff member, and the coordinator agent assigns them to the slot. By using get_resource alongside staff lists, the crew ensures that both the human specialist and the required physical room are reserved at the exact same time. This prevents logistics bottlenecks before they happen.

Autonomous cancellation and rescheduling

`delete_booking` removes appointments when a CrewAI agent detects a cancellation request in your customer support channel. The agent parses the request, finds the correct booking ID, and deletes the slot. After deletion, a secondary agent can run list_available_slots to immediately offer the newly opened time to waitlisted clients. This automated loop keeps your calendar full and maximizes revenue.

Setup guide

Set up MakePlans 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 MakePlans tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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