How to Use the Nmap Online MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I give my AutoGen agents access to Nmap Online?

Install autogen-extmcp and use the mcpservertools function with your server's URL. This returns a list of tools you can pass directly to your AssistantAgent or ConversableAgent constructor.

Enable your AutoGen agents to debate and run network audits. They can use Nmap Online tools to challenge, verify, and act.

Agents That Debate Scan Results

Give your AutoGen agents tools to have a real conversation about security. One agent, the "Scanner," can run `nmap_scan` on a target. A second agent, the "Analyst," can then take those results and run `whois_lookup` and `dns_lookup` to add context. The magic is in the debate. The Analyst might question if a port should be open, prompting the Scanner to re-verify or check headers with `get_http_headers`. They work together, challenging each other's findings until they reach a consensus.

Collaborative Network Diagnostics

Use this MCP server to build a team of diagnostic agents. When a service is down, one agent can `ping_host` to check for life. If that fails, another agent can automatically run `traceroute` to find the point of failure in the network path. You can define agents with specific roles. A "Recon" agent uses `list_subdomains`, while a "Topology" agent uses `traceroute` and `geoip_lookup`. They pass information back and forth until the problem is isolated, simulating how a human team would work.

An AutoGen MCP Server for Recon

Integrating Nmap Online with AutoGen is straightforward. The `mcp_server_tools` function fetches all available tools and prepares them for your agents. The `McpToolAdapter` handles the conversation between your agents and the tool server. You can build a human-in-the-loop workflow. An agent proposes running an `nmap_scan`, and a `UserProxyAgent` asks you for approval before executing. This gives you final say over any potentially sensitive network operations.

Setup guide

Set up Nmap Online 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 Nmap Online 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="Nmap Online_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Nmap Online MCP in AutoGen

Install `autogen-ext[mcp]` and use the `mcp_server_tools` function with your server's URL. This returns a list of tools you can pass directly to your `AssistantAgent` or `ConversableAgent` constructor.

Yes. You can create multiple tool lists from the MCP server and assign them to different agents. For example, give a "ReconAgent" the `list_subdomains` tool and a "ScanAgent" the `nmap_scan` tool.

The agent decides based on the conversation history and its instructions. If another agent asks "Are any ports open on this host?", the LLM will likely choose to call the `nmap_scan` function you provided.

It's a bridge that automatically converts the tool schemas from the MCP server into a format AutoGen agents can understand. It handles the function calling and response parsing so your agents can focus on the conversation.

Your agent's requests, which include the targets for tools like `traceroute` or `ping_host`, are processed in an ephemeral sandbox. Each request is stateless, and the environment is torn down after execution. Vinkius does not log or store the specific domains or IPs your agents are auditing.
