Trace Order Fulfillment Paths

Need to know why an order is delayed? The agent can pull details using `get_order` and then check the status of required materials by calling `list_stock_lots`. This sequence determines if a vendor delay or a missing lot is the bottleneck. You build multi-step reasoning where the output from checking inventory feeds directly into assessing order readiness. It’s perfect for solving complex, interconnected business problems.

Identify Necessary Suppliers

When you're stuck on a product gap, start by listing all needed materials using `list_inventory_items`. The agent then figures out which suppliers are relevant by calling `list_vendors` and cross-referencing them. This process helps pinpoint exactly who to talk to next. It turns a general question into a specific action plan.

Calculate Outstanding Client Bills

To get a full picture of client debt, the agent first calls `list_customers` to narrow down the accounts. Next, it fetches all historical billing records using `list_invoices`. This combined view lets you see exactly what's due and when. You chain together listing customers, then fetching invoices, giving you an immediate, actionable financial report.

Setup guide

Set up Wherefour MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Wherefour tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "wherefour-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Wherefour transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
