Perplexity

Collaborative research teams for CrewAI

Assign one agent to `list_packages` and another to `get_resource`. Your crew works together to build a complete picture of Brazilian trade flows. Shared memory lets the agents pass findings back and forth. You don't need to manually orchestrate the data flow; the agents handle the tool hand-off.

Autonomous data gathering

Let your researchers use `search_packages` to find the right data without human prompts. Once they find a match, they pull the details with `get_package`. This is ideal for continuous monitoring. You set the crew in motion, and it keeps your trade intelligence up to date as new datasets become available.

Filtered tool access for agents

Use the tool_filter in CrewAI to restrict which agent can use `search_datastore`. This ensures only your specialized analyst agent touches the raw trade figures. It keeps the crew efficient and focused. You maintain control over what each agent can do while still giving them the tools they need to succeed.

Setup guide

Set up MDIC (Comércio Exterior) 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 MDIC (Comércio Exterior) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

    task = Task(
        description="List recent MDIC (Comércio Exterior) transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about MDIC (Comércio Exterior) MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL directly into your agent definition. CrewAI handles the connection and exposes the five tools to your team of agents.

Yes, use the shared memory feature. One agent can query the datastore and the others can analyze the results in the next steps of the process.

It works perfectly with hierarchical teams. A manager agent can delegate search tasks to researchers and synthesis tasks to analysts using the provided tools.

CrewAI logs every tool call in the task execution output. You can review these logs to see exactly how your agents are querying the trade data.

The server operates on public government datasets only. All data access is ephemeral, and no state is persisted beyond the current execution session.
