Autonomous task monitoring with CrewAI

Assign a dedicated agent to run `extract_markdown_todos` on a schedule. Your crew can monitor your notes for new items and take action immediately. This removes the need for you to manually track your progress. The agent performs the scan, and the rest of the crew reacts to the findings.

Specialized agents using task data

You can configure a research agent to use `extract_markdown_todos` to gather context from your vaults. It feeds this data into a writer agent that summarizes your upcoming work. Each agent in your CrewAI setup plays a specific role. By sharing the extracted list, they maintain a consistent view of your project status.

Collaborative task management in crews

The `extract_markdown_todos` tool provides a shared memory source for your agents. They can compare tasks across different files to identify blockers or dependencies. This hierarchy allows for more complex operations than a single agent can manage. Your crew functions as a cohesive unit, all referencing the same extracted data.

Setup guide

Set up Markdown Task Extractor 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 Markdown Task Extractor tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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