Automating Trade Research with the MCP Server

You set up a 'crew' where specialized agents collaborate. An Agent can use `list_metadata_tables` to determine which datasets are needed for trade analysis, then another agent executes the query via `query_trade_data`. This simulates real-world research.

Coordinated Data Validation using CrewAI

The crew structure allows specialized agents to validate input. One agent can use `list_metadata_fields` while a second agent uses `list_metadata_values` to confirm that all required codes (like country codes) are correct before any query runs.

Building Specialized Reporting with CrewAI

This server lets you build reports on imports, exports, or trade balances. The collaboration between agents ensures the final output is comprehensive, using classifications like HS or SITC filters correctly.

Setup guide

Set up USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) 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 USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) 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.

crew.py

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="USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

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