How to Use the TeleSign MCP in CrewAI

Q: How does TeleSign integrate with CrewAI for specialized tasks?

You assign specific tools, like checkdeactivation, to a specialist agent. This agent handles the check and reports the binary status (true/false) back into the crew's shared memory.

Q: Can I use TeleSign for multiple verification methods with CrewAI?

Yes. You can build roles where Agent A attempts sendvoiceverification, and if that fails, Agent B is responsible for falling back to sendverification.

Q: Is TeleSign suitable for large-scale checks with CrewAI?

Since it's an MCP Server, you can expose tools like getphoneid to multiple specialized agents. This lets you parallelize the checking process across your crew.

Q: If I need to check API connectivity with TeleSign and CrewAI, what do I use?

Use checktelesignstatus. You'll assign this simple tool to a 'Supervisor Agent.' This agent runs the status check before letting any other specialized agents start their work.

Delegating Risk Scoring to Agents

You assign the `score_phone` tool to a 'Fraud Analyst' agent. This agent runs the scoring and passes the risk level to another 'Decision Maker' agent, which then decides if further verification is needed. The agents collaborate based on the output of the previous step.

Automated Multi-Method Verification

Set up a team where one agent runs `send_sms` and another monitors the result. If the monitoring fails, the second agent automatically calls `send_push_verification`. This is role-based failure handling. The agents work together until the identity verification succeeds.

Comprehensive Phone Status Checks

A 'Pre-Check Agent' can run a series of tools: `get_phone_id`, followed by `get_phone_type`. This agent gathers all necessary initial data before any other team member starts their work. It ensures the number is valid and ready for verification.

Setup guide

Set up TeleSign 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 TeleSign tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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