How to Use the MakePlans MCP in AutoGen
Enable multi-agent debate and consensus on booking tasks with the MakePlans MCP Server and AutoGen.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect MakePlans MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect MakePlans to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Debate booking decisions with AutoGen agents
Configure multiple agents to negotiate appointment details using `create_new_appointment`. One agent might challenge the timing, while another verifies the `service_id` availability. This consensus-driven approach prevents booking errors. By having agents audit each other's tool calls, you ensure that every appointment adheres to your operational rules.
Automate customer onboarding with agent groups
Use a specialized agent to manage `create_new_customer` calls. Other agents in the group can then verify the new ID against the `list_customers` output before proceeding. Your agents handle the entire handshake process. They communicate to resolve any discrepancies in customer data before finalizing the profile creation.
Challenge booking logic with deliberation
Assign agents to monitor `list_appointments` for potential conflicts. They debate whether a new booking fits into the existing schedule based on the returned resource data. The agents converge on a decision that balances customer needs with staff availability. This adds a layer of human-like oversight to your automated scheduling pipeline.

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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes MakePlans tools and returns structured results.
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="MakePlans_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,

Same packages as above.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="MakePlans_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent MakePlans data")
