How to Use the Trimble MCP in AutoGen
Build consensus-driven logistics decisions with AutoGen agents.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Trimble MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Trimble 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.
MCP Server for Debating Route Compliance
When you need agents to debate the best route, start by giving them `get_truck_directions`. One agent can argue for speed, while another checks compliance using `route_by_vehicle_size`. The system forces a consensus on whether the path works with specific vehicle dimensions. This negotiation process is perfect for AutoGen. Agents challenge each other's assumptions until a single, compliant recommendation emerges.
MCP Server for Multi-Option Feasibility Debate
A core use case is debating the cost versus time of multiple paths. Feed `calculate_matrix_routing` data to one agent and let another evaluate potential expenses using `calculate_trip_tolls`. The agents must debate which combination offers the best overall value. This system moves beyond simple calculation; it forces deliberation between competing operational perspectives.
MCP Server for Conflict Resolution in Geocoding
If an agent gets a coordinate, another agent must validate it. They can use `reverse_geocode` to get the commercial address and then cross-check that location using `search_trimble_address`. This process resolves ambiguity between raw coordinates and validated points. It's perfect for AutoGen: one agent suggests a point; another verifies its existence in the Trimble database.
Set up Trimble 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 Trimble 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="Trimble_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Trimble 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="Trimble_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Trimble data")
