How to Use the Microlink MCP in AutoGen
Let your AutoGen agents debate and execute web tasks, from capturing screenshots to auditing performance metrics.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Microlink MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Microlink to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Enable consensus-driven web auditing
`get_insights` provides the raw performance data that your AutoGen agents need to debate site quality. An AutoGen performance agent analyzes the Microlink response speed while a design agent reviews the layout. They deliberate over the Microlink metrics before compiling a final optimization report inside AutoGen. This collaborative AutoGen loop ensures you get a balanced Microlink analysis without manual intervention.
Capture visual proof with AutoGen MCP Server tools
`take_screenshot` captures the visual state of a webpage at any point during an AutoGen conversation. One AutoGen agent triggers the Microlink screenshot, and a critic agent inspects it for visual bugs. This MCP Server tool supports element-specific targeting and device emulation for AutoGen workflows. Your AutoGen agents coordinate the exact Microlink viewport parameters required for the test case.
Extract clean metadata for agent coordination
`extract_metadata` supplies structural web details to your AutoGen coordinator agent. The coordinator agent uses this Microlink information to delegate scraping or analysis tasks to specialized AutoGen sub-agents. Having clean Microlink JSON data prevents parsing errors from breaking the AutoGen conversation flow. The entire AutoGen multi-agent system stays aligned on verified web facts retrieved via Microlink.
Set up Microlink 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes Microlink tools and returns structured results.
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="Microlink_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Microlink 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="Microlink_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Microlink data")
