…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Workload MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Workload 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.
Monitoring Multi-Agent Workload Status
When a team of agents is running, you need visibility. Use `check_workload_status` to see if the overall operation is active or stalled. This tool gives your monitor agent real-time feedback on the entire automated process. If something looks off, use `list_logs`. The moderator agent can pull these logs to figure out which specialized agent dropped the ball.
Defining and Reviewing Team Workflows
The first step for autonomous operations is defining them. You call `create_workflow` to build the initial blueprint that tells Agent A what to research and Agent B what to analyze. The role of `get_workflow` lets a supervisor agent review this plan. If you need to adjust the process, your crew can use `list_workflows` to see all available blueprints.
Managing Execution Cycles for Autonomous Operations
When an autonomous operation finishes or fails, you need control. Use `disable_workflow` if the task is complete, or `enable_workflow` if it needs to resume later. The core process state can be checked with `list_executions`. For immediate recovery, use `retry_execution`. This tool allows a dedicated action agent to kick off a fresh attempt on a failed job.
