How to Use the Zesty.io MCP in AutoGen

Q: What is the best way to get details on Zesty.io's configuration in AutoGen?

Agents use getinstancesettings during their deliberation phase. This ensures that any decision made respects the current system parameters.

Q: Can I check if an item needs updating with AutoGen and Zesty.io?

Yes. An agent can call getcontentitem first, then use that result to determine if the updatecontentitem tool is necessary.

Q: When debating account usage in Zesty.io with AutoGen, what should I check?

You need to run listzestyinstances. This provides a list of associated accounts, which is critical information for the agents to debate over.

Perplexity

Debating content creation with AutoGen

One agent might propose a new record, calling `create_content_item`. A second agent can then challenge the fields by checking existing data using `get_content_item` before consensus is reached.

Reviewing Zesty.io instance status in AutoGen

If agents disagree on which account to use, one can call `list_zesty_instances`. The resulting list feeds into the discussion, forcing a decision based on concrete server data.

Comparing content models with MCP Server

Agents can compare available structures by running `list_content_models` and evaluating which model best fits the goal. This structured output drives the negotiation process.

Setup guide

Set up Zesty.io 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 Zesty.io 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="Zesty.io_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Zesty.io 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="Zesty.io_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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