Perplexity

Debating Publication Strategy

Imagine two agents: a 'Marketing Agent' and an 'Analytics Agent.' The Marketing Agent calls `get_account_details` to check for upcoming campaigns. The Analytics Agent checks `list_episodes` for completion status. They debate the timing, negotiating whether the episode should be published immediately using `publish_episode`, or if it needs one more revision via `update_episode`. This is consensus-driven decision making.

Conflict Management in Content Archiving

One agent detects an old, unused show ID using `list_shows`. A second agent challenges this by calling `get_show` to verify the show's current status. They then debate whether to archive it or delete it via `delete_episode`. The system doesn't just run a command; it forces a negotiation between competing content preservation goals.

Autonomous Subscriber Onboarding Decisions

An agent identifies new users using `list_subscribers`. A second, 'Policy Agent,' reviews the account details (`get_account_details`) and decides if a mass message is appropriate. The agents debate the best method for onboarding. The process runs from identifying the list of subscribers to deciding on the action via `add_subscriber`.

Setup guide

Set up Transistor.fm 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 Transistor.fm 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="Transistor.fm_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

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

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