Debate tasks with AutoGen agents

Assign one agent to `post_message` and another to verify the content. They negotiate the final output before anything is sent to your channels. This prevents errors in communication. You get a consensus-based approach to automated messaging.

Manage channels through AutoGen

Use `create_new_channel` to set up project spaces based on agent discussions. The team decides when a new channel is required and handles the creation. This keeps your workspace organized. Your agents maintain the structure as the project evolves.

Audit team roles with AutoGen

Task a security agent to check `list_system_roles` while others work. They ensure that all operations follow your access policies. This adds a layer of oversight. You can force agents to confirm permissions before performing sensitive actions.

Setup guide

Set up Mattermost 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 Mattermost 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="Mattermost_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Mattermost MCP in AutoGen

You pass the tool list to the AssistantAgent constructor. Agents then decide collectively which tool fits the current part of the conversation.

Agents can list channel posts to understand the context of a disagreement. They then propose a solution based on that history.

It supports both stdio and HTTP. You choose the transport that fits your agent architecture and infrastructure requirements.

Only if you authorize them. You control the scope of the Personal Access Token, limiting what the agents can see or change.

Access is restricted via the server-side API token. All requests are logged by the server, ensuring you have a record of every action taken by your agents.
