Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Wine-Searcher MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Wine-Searcher to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Collaborative wine discovery
You can run a crew where one agent researches using `search_wines`, and another analyzes the results for scores and pricing. This role-based specialization means you get structured, actionable data output. The shared memory feature ensures that the initial search criteria are available to all agents when they start their analysis.
Deep grape education research
Need a full report on a specific type of grape? Assign an agent to use `grape_info` for deep details. A secondary agent can then compile this data with regional context from `region_info`, creating a comprehensive, multi-part document. This team approach handles the complex assembly of disparate pieces of information.
Automated wine viability check
Set up a sequence: Agent 1 uses `wine_check` to gather raw data (regions, grape types, pricing). Agent 2 then filters this data based on predefined rules, flagging any wines that don't meet the minimum score threshold. The monitor agent watches the entire process, escalating issues if necessary.
