How to Use the Mention MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register the Mention MCP Server tools in AutoGen?

Use the AutoGen MCP tool adapter to convert tools like listalerts and searchmentions into schemas your AutoGen AssistantAgent understands. Pass the Mention tools directly to the AutoGen agent constructor.

Q: Can AutoGen track who on my team is managing Mention alerts?

Yes, your AutoGen agents can call listaccountusers to see who is registered on the Mention account. The AutoGen system can then assign Mention alert management tasks to the correct team members.

Let your AutoGen agents debate and analyze social media trends using real-time data from Mention.

Run multi-agent Mention audits via MCP Server

This Mention MCP Server provides the raw social data your specialized AutoGen agents need to debate brand reputation. An AutoGen sentiment analyst agent pulls posts using `list_mentions`, while an AutoGen PR strategist agent evaluates the business impact. They negotiate the best Mention response strategy inside AutoGen based on hard numbers. This collaborative AutoGen approach ensures your Mention brand response is balanced and context-aware.

Coordinate AutoGen crisis alerts using Mention

Your automated AutoGen response team uses `get_alert_statistics` to monitor for sudden Mention volume spikes. Once a Mention spike is detected, an AutoGen coordinator agent initiates a debate among your sub-agents to determine if a crisis protocol is necessary. The AutoGen agents verify the threat by calling `get_mention_details` on the loudest Mention posts. They only trigger external notifications once AutoGen reaches a consensus on the severity of the Mention alert.

Delegate Mention research to specialized AutoGen agents

You assign specific Mention research tasks to individual agents within your AutoGen group. One AutoGen agent manages the monitoring setup using `list_alerts`, while another focuses on searching for specific competitive keywords via `search_mentions`. This division of labor keeps your AutoGen workflows for Mention monitoring fast and organized. Each AutoGen agent calls only the specific Mention tools required for its role, minimizing token usage and API overhead.

Setup guide

Set up Mention 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 Mention 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="Mention_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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