How to Use the MakePlans MCP in CrewAI

Q: How would a crew of agents book an appointment in MakePlans?

You could have one agent use createnewcustomer, then pass the customer ID to a second agent. That second agent would then use findavailableslots and createnewappointment to finish the job. This handoff is central to how CrewAI works.

Q: What's the best way to get details for one specific appointment?

Use the getappointmentdetails tool. It takes an appointment ID and returns all the information for that specific booking, which is useful for agents that need to confirm or modify existing events.

Deploy a crew of AI agents with CrewAI to autonomously manage your entire MakePlans booking operation, from intake to reporting.

Assemble a Dedicated Booking Crew

This MCP server gives your CrewAI agents the tools to manage a complete booking system. You can create a 'Client Intake Agent' whose only job is to use the `create_new_customer` tool. It then passes the new customer ID to a 'Scheduling Agent' that uses `find_available_slots` and `create_new_appointment` to book the meeting. This role-based specialization is what makes CrewAI powerful. Each agent focuses on one part of the problem—onboarding, scheduling, or confirming—and hands off the work. The MakePlans tools are the specific actions they can take to get their jobs done.

Build an Autonomous Auditing Team

Assign a 'Reporting Agent' the task of running `list_appointments` and `list_customers` on a daily schedule. It can pass this raw data to an 'Analyst Agent' that looks for patterns, like which services are most popular or which customers book most often. The crew works together without human intervention. The Reporting Agent gathers the facts using the MakePlans tools, and the Analyst Agent provides insights. It’s a simple way to build an automated business intelligence function for your operations.

Let Your CrewAI Agents Manage Resources

Create an 'Operations Agent' that periodically uses `list_booking_resources` to check the availability of staff or rooms. If it detects an underutilized resource, it can delegate a task to a 'Marketing Agent' to promote services associated with that resource. This shows how a team of agents can do more than just execute tasks; they can monitor, analyze, and act. This MCP server provides the core operational tools, and CrewAI provides the framework for autonomous collaboration.

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)
