Multi-agent research with CrewAI

Assign one agent to browse imagery while another analyzes patent viability. They share memory and coordinate their findings. Use `search_media` to feed the first agent. It hands off relevant IDs to the second agent for metadata deep-dives.

Tech transfer analysis

Your crew autonomously identifies commercial spinoffs from NASA research. They can scan thousands of records while you do other work. Call `search_patents` to generate a list of candidates. The agents filter these based on your specific industry requirements.

Automated asset verification

One agent acts as the monitor, checking if media links are still valid. It reports back to the lead agent if a link is dead. Use `get_media_asset` to fetch URLs. The monitor verifies the connection and updates the crew's task list.

Setup guide

Set up NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer 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 NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer 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="NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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

Common questions about NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer MCP in CrewAI

Yes. Simply add the server URL to your agent's MCP configuration. The agents will recognize the available tools and invoke them when needed.

Agents share a common memory space. One agent performs the search, and the others read the results from the shared context.

You can use the tool filter feature to limit which agents have access to which tools. This prevents agents from using tools they don't need.

The server supports HTTP and SSE. You pick the transport that best fits your local or cloud-based agent deployment.

The server operates in an ephemeral environment. It only interacts with the public NASA API and clears its state after every request.
