How to Use the TollGuru MCP in AutoGen
Achieve consensus on costs with TollGuru using AutoGen's debate framework.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect TollGuru MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect TollGuru to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Negotiate Optimal Routes using the MCP Server
Need to know if a route is efficient? Give your agents access to `calculate_toll_route`. You can set up multiple AutoGen agents—a 'Cost Agent' and a 'Speed Agent'—to debate the best path. The Cost Agent runs the function, gets the toll details, and presents the cost; the Speed Agent challenges that based on time value. The final decision is a consensus achieved through deliberation between competing perspectives, giving you a highly vetted route plan.
Debate Multi-Stop Logistics Plans with AutoGen
When dealing with complex multi-stop delivery routes, the `calculate_toll_multi_stop` tool provides initial data. You can then have one agent act as a 'Validator' and another as an 'Optimizer.' They debate whether the current waypoint sequence is truly minimal in cost or if there's a better order—a negotiation process that goes beyond simple calculation. This consensus-driven approach ensures every possible angle, from tolls to fuel costs, is reviewed before the final plan is generated.
Challenge Assumptions with TollGuru’s MCP Server
If you only have a polyline and need cost validation, use `calculate_toll_from_polyline`. You can task one AutoGen agent to run this check, while another is tasked with comparing the output against known maximum budgets. The agents debate if the calculated toll costs are acceptable based on organizational policy. This system doesn't just execute; it forces a discussion around the viability of the results.
Set up TollGuru 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes TollGuru tools and returns structured results.
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="TollGuru_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent TollGuru 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="TollGuru_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent TollGuru data")
