Automated account discovery for CrewAI

Your agents need to know what they are looking at before they start. Use `get_monzo_accounts` to map out every pot, joint account, and personal balance you hold. This gives your CrewAI team a clear picture of your financial structure. Agents can then assign specific tasks to the right accounts based on the metadata retrieved.

Real-time balance tracking for agents

Stop guessing your liquidity. By calling `get_monzo_balance`, your agents get the exact numbers they need to make decisions on your behalf. This tool feeds the raw data directly into your agent's memory. It replaces the need for you to manually check your app whenever a process runs.

Transaction parsing in your MCP Server

Feed your agents raw history using `get_monzo_transactions`. This lets them spot spending patterns or flag unusual charges as they happen. Your CrewAI agents process these logs to build their own internal reports. It turns a wall of text into actionable intelligence for your automated workflows.

Setup guide

Set up Monzo Banking 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 Monzo Banking tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Monzo Banking MCP in CrewAI

The MCP server acts as a bridge between your bank and your agent crew. You provide the endpoint, and the server translates the API responses into a format your agents can read.

Yes, you have full control. You can use the tool_filter option in your configuration to limit which agents have access to specific banking functions.

Your banking data stays within the secure Vinkius sandbox. Only the agents you explicitly authorize get access to your transaction logs.

The server will return an auth error, and your agents will pause their tasks. You just need to update the token in your environment variables to get things moving again.

No. The server is ephemeral and only touches your data when an agent requests it. It does not keep a local database of your private spending history.
