How to Use the USPS Developer Portal MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do I calculate rates using the USPS Developer Portal with AutoGen?

You structure agents to debate pricing. One agent runs calculateinternationalrate, and another agent reviews policy constraints, forcing a consensus on the final rate displayed.

Q: Can AutoGen help me track USPS packages using the USPS Developer Portal?

Yes. You can assign an 'Auditing Agent' to run trackuspspackage and another agent to analyze the output for anomalies, ensuring you get a complete and verified tracking report.

Q: If I need to audit addresses, does the USPS Developer Portal work with AutoGen?

Absolutely. You can set up an 'Address Agent' that uses verifyuspsaddress and has a second agent challenge it against different state lookup tools for maximum confidence.

Facilitate consensus-driven USPS logistics decisions using AutoGen.

MCP Server: Calculating Rates with AutoGen

Calculating rates requires multiple perspectives. One agent can call `calculate_domestic_rate`, while another agent challenges the assumption by checking a global rate table. The system debates until it converges on the final, agreed-upon shipping cost. This consensus model is perfect for complex financial decisions where simple API calls aren't enough.

Address Resolution and Verification with AutoGen

Don’t trust one data source. You set up agents to debate address accuracy: Agent A uses `verify_usps_address`, while Agent B cross-references the resulting ZIP code using `lookup_usps_zip_code`. The final output is a verified, multi-sourced consensus on location details. This layered approach ensures high reliability for critical inputs.

Tracking and Commitments in AutoGen

When estimating delivery times, one agent calls `get_delivery_commitments` while a second agent checks the current weather/holiday schedule (an external source). They negotiate the final, realistic commitment date. The MCP Server handles the raw data (`track_usps_package`, etc.), but AutoGen manages the necessary deliberation to give you a trustworthy answer.

Setup guide

Set up USPS Developer Portal 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 USPS Developer Portal 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="USPS Developer Portal_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent USPS Developer Portal 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="USPS Developer Portal_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent USPS Developer Portal data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
