Collaborate on Contact Records

The `create_sales_contact` tool lets one agent add a new contact to Zendesk Sell. Another specialist agent can then use `get_sales_contact_details` to verify the record exists. This shared memory capability is perfect for CrewAI, allowing agents to pass IDs and structured data back and forth seamlessly.

Automate Deal Creation in Zendesk Sell

Agents can initiate a new opportunity using `create_sales_deal`. This requires the agent first obtaining a contact ID via another tool. CrewAI manages this sequence: Agent A finds the right contact, and Agent B uses that context to finalize the deal creation.

View All Sales Data from MCP Server

Need an overview? Use `list_sales_deals` or `list_sales_leads` to pull entire datasets. These listing tools provide the raw materials for your agents. Giving the CrewAI system access to these list functions ensures that monitoring and reporting tasks are fully autonomous.

Setup guide

Set up Zendesk Sell 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 Zendesk Sell tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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

Common questions about Zendesk Sell MCP in CrewAI

You pass the MCP Server URL directly to your agents. The specialized roles within CrewAI then decide which tools—like `get_lead_details` or `list_sales_contacts`—to call to achieve a goal.

Yes. You can set up hierarchical execution where one agent gathers data (e.g., using `list_sales_leads`), passes the IDs to another, which then performs actions like `update_existing_deal`.

The server manages Leads, Contacts, and Deals. Your agent team can use these three object types to model complex sales pipelines and automations.

This MCP Server touches Leads, Contacts, and Deals. Agents must be configured with clear permissions only for the specific data type they need to read or write.

Absolutely. The `get_deal_details` tool lets an agent pull specifics on a deal, while `get_lead_details` pulls the necessary information for a prospect.
