Autonomous discovery via MCP Server

The 'Researcher' agent uses `search_location` to identify potential venues by name or address. This forms the initial dataset for the crew. The 'Planner' agent takes over, using `get_nearby_locations` to build a map of options around key coordinates found during research.

Detailed analysis in CrewAI

`get_location_details` is assigned to the 'Analyst' agent. This tool provides all the raw data needed for deep comparison between multiple sites. The 'Curator' agent then uses `get_location_photos`. It processes both professional and user photos to build a visual profile, which is critical for presentation.

Monitoring TripAdvisor sentiment with CrewAI

The primary task involves analyzing feedback. The 'Reviewer' agent uses `get_location_reviews` to pull the latest comments and ratings. The Moderator agent then watches this data, cross-referencing it against core facts pulled by `get_location_details` to flag inconsistencies.

Setup guide

Set up TripAdvisor 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 TripAdvisor tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent TripAdvisor 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.

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="TripAdvisor Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze TripAdvisor data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct TripAdvisor access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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