How to Use the Worktile MCP in CrewAI

Q: How does CrewAI handle listing Worktile tasks?

The 'Task Manager' agent uses listtasks to retrieve all current work items in a specified project. This list is shared among the crew, allowing specialized agents to process them.

Q: Can I use CrewAI to modify Worktile projects?

Yes. The agent can first fetch details using getproject, and then another worker can call updatetask based on the gathered information. This ensures modifications are targeted.

Q: What is the process for finding Worktile team info with CrewAI?

The agent uses getteaminfo to get the current details and structure of a team. It can then list individual members using listmembers to build out the full roster.

Q: Does this MCP Server interact with Worktile message channels?

It does. The agent uses listchannels to see what's available, and then it sends messages using sendmessage, all within a collaborative workflow context.

Autonomous Task Lifecycle Management

A crew can be assigned the role of 'Task Manager.' It first calls `list_tasks` to assess the workload. Then, it uses `update_task` to change statuses across multiple Worktile projects autonomously. Need to kick off work? The agent executes `create_task`, writing a new item and sharing that record with other specialized agents for follow-up.

Project Scope Discovery

The 'Scout' agent runs `list_projects` to survey the entire Worktile landscape, gathering all available agile work areas. It then uses `get_project` on a specific project ID, providing deep details for analysis. If the scope is team-based, the agent checks organizational structure using `get_team_info` and can list members via `list_members`.

Coordinated Messaging Operations

A 'Communicaion Specialist' agent first runs `list_channels` to find all relevant communication endpoints. It then uses that context to execute the action, calling `send_message` directly into Worktile. The system can also track task states by running `list_task_states` for a project, allowing the crew to report on bottlenecks automatically.

Setup guide

Set up Worktile 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 Worktile tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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