How to Use the Vonage MCP in CrewAI

Q: Can CrewAI coordinate WhatsApp messages with Vonage?

Yes. You instruct a 'Communication Agent' to use the sendwhatsappmessage tool. The agent manages the credential requirements, ensuring a verified number is provided for the message.

Q: How do I handle virtual numbers with Vonage using CrewAI?

A 'Maintenance Agent' can run listrentednumbers to get an inventory. If you need to change where inbound messages go, it uses updatenumberwebhook for the specific number.

Perplexity

Team 1: Communication Dispatch.

You can assign an 'Execution Agent' to handle outbound messages. This agent uses `send_sms` for SMS alerts, and it delegates WhatsApp tasks via `send_whatsapp_message`. The shared memory keeps track of the target phone number across multiple attempts. If a message fails, the crew structure allows the 'Moderator Agent' to automatically route the communication through Viber using `send_viber_message` as a backup.

Team 2: Account Monitoring & Reporting.

Assigning a 'Monitoring Agent' is simple. It runs the `get_account_balance` tool to report on current Vonage account credit balance. Another agent can use `list_rented_numbers` to generate an inventory of all active virtual phone numbers. This specialized pairing allows you to build automated reporting that always has up-to-date operational metrics.

Team 3: Identity & Lifecycle Management.

A 'Security Agent' handles user identity validation. It first calls `start_verification` to kick off the OTP process, then uses `check_verification_code` to confirm success. This sequence is crucial for onboarding new users. If a number needs maintenance, another agent can use `update_number_webhook` to ensure the callback URL remains current.

Setup guide

Set up Vonage 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 Vonage tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent Vonage 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="Vonage Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Vonage data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Vonage access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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