How to Use the Widen (Acquia DAM) MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I map Widen (Acquia DAM) structure using CrewAI?

Assign an agent to use listglobalcategories first. A second agent can then iterate through the results, calling getcategorycontents for a full directory breakdown.

Q: Can I list assets in collections using Widen (Acquia DAM) with CrewAI?

Yes. An inventory agent calls listcollectionassets to gather all contained resources. This is useful when the crew needs to audit a specific user-defined collection.

Q: What's the process for getting CDN links with Widen (Acquia DAM) using CrewAI?

The final action agent uses listcdnembedlinks on a target asset. It gathers all necessary embed codes and HTML snippets, completing the autonomous deployment preparation.

Q: How does Widen (Acquia DAM) search work with CrewAI?

You can assign an agent to use searchwidenassets by providing a query string. This gives your crew immediate access to find specific assets across the entire DAM instance.

Q: What data privacy considerations exist when using Widen (Acquia DAM) with CrewAI?

This server touches asset metadata and user roles. The listaccountusers tool provides access to names and authorization levels of users within the system.

Perplexity

Map out the entire asset structure.

Agent A uses `list_global_categories` to map the top-level folders. Agent B then takes this list and runs `get_category_contents`, building a full, nested inventory of assets across Widen (Acquia DAM). This sequence allows for autonomous operations: first, research the structure; second, compile the comprehensive asset manifest.

Inventory check for collections.

Need to know what's in a specific group? The `list_collection_assets` tool lets an agent pull every asset contained within a designated user collection. This is ideal for audit logs or pre-publication checks. It helps the crew of specialized agents confirm that all necessary components are present before proceeding with any action.

Generate all usable CDN links.

The final agent can call `list_cdn_embed_links` to retrieve every active embed link and HTML snippet for an asset. This is the output layer of your automation. It ensures that when your crew finishes its task, the required deployment assets are immediately gathered into one actionable list.

Setup guide

Set up Widen (Acquia DAM) 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 Widen (Acquia DAM) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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