How to Use the Monnify MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I register Monnify tools in an AutoGen MCP agent group?

Install the AutoGen MCP extension and configure the StreamableHttpServerParams with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass the loaded tools directly to your AssistantAgent constructor so they can be used during conversations.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle bank listing queries with Monnify?

An agent can call listbanks to get a list of supported Nigerian banks. The agent then shares this list with the user-facing agent to help the customer select their preferred payment bank.

Deploy debating agents to manage Nigerian virtual accounts and process payments using AutoGen and this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Debate-driven virtual account reservation via MCP Server

`reserve_account` generates Monnify virtual bank accounts after your AutoGen agents debate and approve the customer's risk profile. A compliance AutoGen agent checks user data while a support AutoGen agent requests the Monnify account, ensuring no accounts are created without validation. This collaborative AutoGen process stops fraudulent Monnify registrations before they hit the API. Once the AutoGen agents reach a consensus, the primary execution agent triggers the Monnify tool and shares the account details across the group.

Consensus-based disbursement validation

`list_disbursements` retrieves outgoing Monnify transfer records so your AutoGen agents can cross-verify them. A finance AutoGen agent reviews the Monnify transfer history, while an audit AutoGen agent checks the list against internal ledgers to confirm payout accuracy. Your AutoGen system gains a layer of protection against unauthorized Monnify transfers. If the AutoGen agents find a mismatch in the Monnify disbursement data, they halt further operations until a human operator resolves the dispute.

Multi-agent payment verification

`get_transaction` pulls specific Monnify transaction statuses to help your AutoGen agents resolve payment disputes. One AutoGen agent fetches the Monnify transaction data, another verifies the customer's claim, and a third decides whether to trigger a refund. This division of labor ensures that no single AutoGen agent has unilateral control over your Monnify funds. By dividing the Monnify verification and action steps among AutoGen agents, your system maintains strict operational security.

Setup guide

Set up Monnify 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 Monnify 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="Monnify_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Install the AutoGen MCP extension and configure the `StreamableHttpServerParams` with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass the loaded tools directly to your `AssistantAgent` constructor so they can be used during conversations.

Yes, your agents can debate pricing and terms before calling `init_payment`. Once they agree on the transaction amount, the execution agent initializes the payment and returns the link.

An agent can call `list_banks` to get a list of supported Nigerian banks. The agent then shares this list with the user-facing agent to help the customer select their preferred payment bank.

Yes, this server supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP transports. You can run it locally or let Vinkius host it securely, providing a single endpoint for your AutoGen deployment.
