Create and Modify Records with MCP Server

Building a new record requires deliberation. Agents can compare `zoho_create_account` (for company data) versus `zoho_create_lead` (for raw prospects). The agent debates which tool is appropriate, ensuring you start the right process. When updating records, agents use `zoho_update_contact`. They don't just apply changes; they debate if the update should happen now or wait for confirmation, making sure only necessary fields change.

Discover Contacts through MCP Server

Finding a person involves multiple steps. An agent first runs `zoho_search_contacts` to find potential matches. If that fails, it might call `zoho_search_accounts` and then use `zoho_related_records` to narrow the search scope. The multi-agent conversation ensures the most targeted search is executed—for instance, one agent focusing on email matching while another focuses on owner assignments.

Manage Full Data Lifecycle with MCP Server

The system handles lead conversion through deliberation. The agents decide if a prospect meets qualification standards before calling `zoho_convert_lead`. This prevents bad data from entering the pipeline. Furthermore, they can build company context by calling `zoho_get_account` and using that full record to validate new contacts via `zoho_create_contact`, ensuring all linked records are correct.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho CRM Contacts 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 Zoho CRM Contacts 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="Zoho CRM Contacts_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Zoho CRM Contacts data")

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="Zoho CRM Contacts_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Zoho CRM Contacts data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
