Run autonomous publishing crews

Give your CrewAI agents access to `create_post`. One agent writes the content while the other handles the publication requirements. It removes the need for human intervention in your content lifecycle. You just define the role, and the agent executes the publishing task.

Coordinate via list_publications

Use `list_publications` to let your agent decide where to send a story. The crew can check your account's publication list and pick the right one. It makes your agents smarter about where they work. They can adapt to your existing publication structure dynamically.

Monitor your profile with get_me

Have your monitor agent call `get_me` periodically to verify your account status. It ensures your crew is always operating on the right profile. It adds a layer of validation to your autonomous operations. If the account changes, the agent catches it immediately.

Setup guide

Set up Medium Alternative 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 Medium Alternative tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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