Consensus-Driven Scheduling

Deploy a scheduling agent that negotiates with your calendar. It calls `list_calendars` to see your constraints, then debates the best time slot with a planning agent. Once they reach a consensus, the agent executes `create_event`. It's a team approach to avoiding double bookings.

Multi-Agent Email Drafting

Let your agents critique each other's email drafts. One agent uses `list_drafts` to find a pending message, while another agent reviews the tone and accuracy. After they agree on the final version, the agent uses `send_message` to dispatch it. You get a second pair of eyes on every outbound communication.

Collaborative Contact Management

Use an administrative agent to organize your address book. It periodically runs `list_contacts` to identify duplicates or missing info. When it finds an issue, it triggers `create_contact` to fix the record. It ensures your contact list remains clean through agent-led verification.

Setup guide

Set up Nylas 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 Nylas 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="Nylas_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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

Common questions about Nylas MCP in AutoGen

Yes, you can distribute the toolset across your agent team. This allows specialized agents to focus on specific tasks like calendar management or email triage.

They pass the tool outputs back and forth. One agent might suggest a meeting time based on `list_events`, and another agent will confirm the availability.

It is. The server provides a standard interface that the adapter converts into native agent tools, making it a plug-and-play addition.

The Vinkius-hosted server manages all provider authentication. Your agents simply focus on the logic, not the API handshake.

The server enforces strict per-tool permissions. Only the specific actions you authorize—like reading contacts or deleting events—are accessible to your agent team.
