How to Use the Nager.Date MCP in AutoGen
Build consensus-driven holiday planning systems in AutoGen where agents debate regional schedule impacts.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Nager.Date MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Nager.Date 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.
Debate holiday impacts with multi-agent teams
Assign `get_next_holidays` to an analyst agent and let it debate the results with a project manager agent. They negotiate how a public holiday affects your delivery deadlines. This setup forces agents to challenge each other. The manager checks if the holiday overlaps with a shipment, ensuring the final decision accounts for real-world constraints.
Automate cross-regional calendar checks
Use `get_next_holidays_worldwide` to gather data for a global operations agent. It synthesizes holiday info from multiple countries to flag potential bottlenecks in your supply chain. Your agents work in parallel. While one agent gathers data, the other evaluates the impact, leading to faster decisions than manual calendar review.
Negotiate based on verified API facts
The McpToolAdapter converts Nager.Date responses into a format your agents understand. When they discuss a date, they use the `is_holiday_today` tool to verify the facts. Agents don't rely on guesswork. They call the tool, receive the truth, and then reach a consensus that is based on the actual public holiday calendar.
Set up Nager.Date 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 Nager.Date 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="Nager.Date_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Nager.Date 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="Nager.Date_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Nager.Date data")
