Agentic negotiation with AutoGen

Deploy a security agent and a business agent to debate `create_card` requests. They check velocity controls before approving any issuance. This adds a layer of deliberation to your payment operations. You ensure that no card is issued without meeting all programmed requirements.

Simulate complex flows in AutoGen

Have agents simulate a full authorization chain using `simulate_authorization` and `simulate_reversal`. They test how your system reacts to edge cases together. This collaborative testing uncovers issues that a single agent might miss. Your team gains confidence in the logic before deploying to production.

Manage Marqeta through consensus

Use the `McpToolAdapter` to give your agents access to the full Marqeta toolset. They discuss and converge on the correct actions for user management. It’s a robust way to handle multi-step processes like `perform_kyc` and `create_user_transition`. Your agents work together to ensure every step follows your rules.

Setup guide

Set up Marqeta 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 Marqeta 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="Marqeta_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Yes. You can configure multiple agents to challenge each other's tool calls, ensuring that every transaction meets your predefined criteria.

The adapter handles the conversion automatically. It maps the server tools to the format required by the agents, so you don't need manual configuration.

The conversation history logs every tool call and agent response. You can review the full debate to see why an agent chose a specific action.

The server uses ephemeral sessions. No sensitive cardholder data is cached on the server, and your agents only handle the data you explicitly request.
