How to Use the UpGuard MCP in AutoGen
Facilitate Consensus Decisions on Security Audits with UpGuard and AutoGen Agents.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect UpGuard MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect UpGuard 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.
Debating Account Risks
You set up two agents: one calls `list_account_risks` while another checks `list_user_risks`. They then debate the severity of the findings. The AutoGen framework forces them to argue over which risk is most critical, moving beyond a simple report to a consensus decision on the next remediation step.
Negotiating Vendor Compliance
One agent pulls all vendors using `list_vendors`, while another calls `list_vendor_risks` for each one. They then negotiate whether the overall vendor portfolio is compliant. This deliberation process ensures that critical gaps—like missing domain monitoring via `list_monitored_domains`—are flagged through debate, not just listed.
Multi-Agent Asset Discovery
Agents can divide labor: one checks IPs using `list_monitored_ips`, and another reviews SaaS apps via `list_saas_apps`. They then discuss overlap or missing coverage. This collaboration allows the AutoGen system to build a complete, consensus-driven map of your entire digital attack surface.
Set up UpGuard 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 UpGuard 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="UpGuard_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent UpGuard 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="UpGuard_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent UpGuard data")
