How to Use the Ship24 MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I get real-time status updates with Ship24 and AutoGen?

The agents will debate the best time to run getlivetracking. They ensure that all necessary parameters are gathered before calling it, providing highly reliable, up-to-the-minute data.

Q: What if I need to list current jobs with Ship24 and AutoGen?

You instruct the agents to check listactivetrackers or listbulktrackers. They will analyze the output, summarize what's running, and report back to you in a structured format.

Q: Can AutoGen handle multiple carrier lookups with Ship24?

Yes. The agents can run searchcouriers for FedEx, then repeat the process for Correios, gathering all necessary data points and compiling them into a single report.

Automated Tracking Decision Making for AutoGen

When the system needs to track a package, multiple agents can debate the best approach. One agent might suggest `find_tracker_by_number`, while another calls `list_active_trackers`. The consensus ensures the correct tool is used and executed. This multi-step process makes decisions that single-tool calls just can't handle.

Debating Bulk Tracking Strategies with AutoGen

Agents can negotiate how to track large shipments. One agent might propose using `create_bulk_trackers`, while a 'safety' agent checks `get_api_status` first. Only when all agents agree on the method does the job proceed. This prevents costly failures and ensures high reliability for massive jobs.

Verifying Carrier Scope with AutoGen

The system can assign an agent to verify carrier coverage. It uses `list_couriers` and then passes those results to another agent that runs `search_couriers`. The agents debate whether the list is complete before moving forward. This robust check prevents shipping failures due to unknown carriers.

Setup guide

Set up Ship24 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 Ship24 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="Ship24_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Ship24 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="Ship24_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Ship24 data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Yes. The agents can run `search_couriers` for FedEx, then repeat the process for Correios, gathering all necessary data points and compiling them into a single report.

No. If you decide a job is finished early, the agents can execute `delete_tracker` immediately, ensuring no unnecessary resources are consumed or billed.

The server touches tracking numbers, carrier codes, and status updates. The system handles the movement of this shipment data but never requires access to personal user credentials.
