Debating user context via `lookup_user_by_username`

Start by letting one agent call `lookup_user_by_username` to get a target profile’s data. A second, critique agent then takes that output and challenges it—maybe arguing whether the bio is vague or if the follower count matters. This forces consensus on the importance of certain user details before moving forward with any search.

Critiquing search results via `search_recent_tweets`

One agent executes a search using `search_recent_tweets`, gathering recent public tweets based on a query. A second, governance agent immediately reviews those results. The debate ensures that the final decision isn't just 'the most popular,' but 'most relevant and actionable.' This is consensus-driven intelligence.

Analyzing tweet metrics via `get_tweet_details`

To analyze a specific post, one agent calls `get_tweet_details`, pulling the text and engagement metrics. Another agent then weighs those numbers against established thresholds. The result isn't just data; it's a negotiated conclusion on whether that tweet signals an emerging trend or if it’s noise.

Setup guide

Set up X (Twitter) MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes X (Twitter) tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="X (Twitter)_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent X (Twitter) data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="X (Twitter)_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent X (Twitter) data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about X (Twitter) MCP in AutoGen

You build a system where multiple agents debate. One agent gathers raw data from the MCP Server, and another agent critiques that data until they reach a final, agreed-upon conclusion.

It's designed for it. You aren't just running steps; you're building systems where the answer requires deliberation between competing viewpoints and perspectives.

Way better. Simple calling is linear. With AutoGen, you introduce negotiation. Agents challenge each other's conclusions, making the final output much more trustworthy.

The server gives access to user profiles, recent tweet searches, and specific engagement metrics via `get_tweet_details`.

This MCP Server touches tweet text and engagement metrics. While the data is public, remember that your agents are processing this information for decision-making.
