Specialized agents for store monitoring

Assign a monitor agent to poll `list_merchant_alerts` and `get_store_health`. Your CrewAI team can now detect issues before they impact your bottom line. This role-based approach lets you separate the "observer" agent from the "actor" agent. The monitor flags an issue, and the moderator takes the necessary steps to resolve it.

Automated sales analysis and reporting

Use `get_sales_summary` and `list_store_promotions` to feed your analysis agents. CrewAI agents can compare performance across different marketplaces to identify your top-selling products. They don't just report numbers; they process the data to give you actionable insights. You get a team that understands your business performance without needing constant human intervention.

Cross-platform product catalog management

Aggregate product data with `list_store_products` to keep your listings accurate. Your CrewAI agents can verify that your descriptions and pricing align across every marketplace you operate. This eliminates the drift that occurs when managing stores separately. Your agents maintain the consistency of your entire product catalog, keeping your brand image sharp everywhere.

Setup guide

Set up MerchantSpring 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 MerchantSpring tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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