How to Use the MessageFlow MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I connect the MessageFlow MCP Server to an AutoGen agent?

Install autogen-extmcp via pip. Use mcpservertools with your Vinkius endpoint URL to fetch the tool definitions, then pass them directly to your AssistantAgent constructor.

Q: Can AutoGen agents negotiate which MessageFlow channel to use?

Yes. Your agents use listchannels to see active options, debate the cost versus urgency, and then call either sendsms or sendwhatsapp based on their consensus.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle MessageFlow template validation?

One agent can call listtemplates and gettemplate to fetch the required fields. A separate reviewer agent checks the draft against those rules before sending.

Coordinate multi-agent debates in AutoGen to verify, format, and dispatch MessageFlow notifications across channels.

Coordinate AutoGen agents for multi-channel dispatch

The `send_whatsapp` tool dispatches templates to customers after your AutoGen agents reach a consensus on the message content. An AutoGen copywriter agent drafts the text, a compliance agent checks it against MessageFlow templates, and the execution agent fires the tool. This AutoGen debate structure prevents formatting errors and compliance violations in your outbound MessageFlow campaigns. The AutoGen agents collaborate to verify variables before committing to the final MessageFlow API call.

Validate AutoGen agent spend via MCP Server tools

The `get_account_balance` tool allows your financial oversight agent to monitor API spend using this MCP Server. Before the AutoGen drafting agents initiate a bulk campaign, the oversight agent checks the MessageFlow balance to confirm sufficient funds. If the MessageFlow balance is too low, the AutoGen run halts and alerts the team instead of failing mid-way. This programmatic budget enforcement protects your MessageFlow account from runaway AutoGen agent loops.

Consensus-driven delivery verification

The `get_delivery_status` tool provides real-time transmission feedback to your AutoGen monitoring agents. If a critical MessageFlow notification fails, the AutoGen monitoring agent reports the failure to the coordinator agent to initiate a fallback debate. The AutoGen team then decides whether to execute MessageFlow's `send_email` or fallback to `send_sms`. This ensures high-priority alerts find a path to the user even when one channel fails.

Setup guide

Set up MessageFlow 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 MessageFlow 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="MessageFlow_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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