Perplexity

Hierarchical email operations

Assign research and response tasks to different agents using `list_messages`. One agent analyzes the conversation while another prepares the reply. This hierarchy ensures high-quality output. Your crew handles complex threads without human intervention.

Automated labeling and triage

Use `list_labels` and `create_post` to organize your inbox dynamically. Agents can categorize incoming mail and assign them to the right team member. This removes the need for manual inbox management. Your team stays focused on high-priority tasks.

Autonomous draft execution

Agents generate and finalize content using `create_draft` and `send_draft`. They follow your defined roles to ensure tone and accuracy. This frees your team from repetitive drafting. You only step in for final review.

Setup guide

Set up Missive 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 Missive tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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