Checking Business Status

When agents need to know about your WhatsApp account, they use `get_business_profile` to pull that data. This output becomes a verifiable fact point in their debate. Alternatively, the agent can call `get_waba_details`, forcing multiple perspectives (like a 'compliance agent' and a 'performance agent') to deliberate on the current account status.

Template Governance

If an agent needs to verify available messaging options, it uses `list_message_templates`. The resulting list is then passed around for debate: one agent might challenge if certain templates are outdated. To finalize a change, the 'action agent' can call `delete_message_template` after consensus has been reached on removal.

Executing Communications

An agent decides to communicate by calling `send_template_message`. The negotiation process ensures the template is correctly formatted and authorized before the message is dispatched. For simple, immediate outreach, an agent can execute `send_text_message`, but only after another agent verifies that a customer service window is active.

Setup guide

Set up WhatsApp Business Alternative 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 WhatsApp Business Alternative 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="WhatsApp Business Alternative_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent WhatsApp Business Alternative 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="WhatsApp Business Alternative_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent WhatsApp Business Alternative data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Yes. An agent can be tasked with reviewing templates by calling `list_message_templates`. The debate process then validates whether any templates need to be removed via `delete_message_template`.

The most reliable method involves consensus. Agents should first call `get_waba_details` to confirm account readiness, then use `send_template_message` once all parties agree on the content.

It handles account and profile information (e.g., `get_waba_details`). Since multiple agents are involved, every piece of data passed to these tools is recorded in the conversation log for review.
