Autonomous vision teams in CrewAI

Assign `image_captioning` and `style_transfer` tasks to specialized agents within your crew. One agent handles the analysis while another performs the generation. They share context to build a complete picture of the visual data. This collaboration happens without your manual intervention.

Scale vision operations with CrewAI

Execute hierarchical tasks where agents use `visual_question_answering` to filter data before passing it to a decision-making agent. This structure keeps your operations efficient. You control the flow through role-based instructions. The agents do the heavy lifting autonomously.

Flexible MCP Server integration

Configure your crew to use specific tools like `detect_objects` via selective exposure. You limit access to ensure each agent only sees what it needs to perform its job. This keeps your agents focused. It also reduces the noise in their shared memory space.

Setup guide

Set up NVIDIA Vision 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 NVIDIA Vision tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about NVIDIA Vision MCP in CrewAI

Pass the server URL directly into your agent definition. CrewAI handles the connection and tool registration automatically across your entire crew.

Agents utilize shared memory to track visual analysis across the crew. Once one agent detects an object, the entire crew has access to that context.

You can filter tools for each agent using the standard configuration. This restricts which visual capabilities are available to specific members of your crew.

They follow a sequential or hierarchical execution plan you define. The agents pass the output of one visual tool as the input for the next.

Access to your visual logs is strictly limited to your authorized crew sessions. We implement per-request authentication to ensure your image processing tasks remain confidential.
