How to Use the Zoho Notebook MCP in AutoGen

Q: How can I use Zoho Notebook and AutoGen together?

You pass the MCP Server tools—like getnotecard—to your AssistantAgent. The agents then debate how to best combine these tool calls to achieve a desired note outcome.

Q: What's the process for listing notes using Zoho Notebook and AutoGen?

The agents can debate whether to call listnotebooks or if they need a more granular search. They will converge on the best tool path needed to fulfill your request.

Debating note structure and intent

Multiple agents can discuss the best way to organize notes. For example, one agent might call `list_notebooks` while another uses that data to suggest a new category using the knowledge of other containers. The system requires deliberation—the decision isn't obvious; it comes from multiple competing perspectives debating the optimal tool sequence.

Validating note changes with AutoGen

When you call `update_notecard`, a security agent can challenge the change, while a performance agent checks if the update is necessary. They negotiate whether to proceed or if a different tool like `search_notecards` should run first. This consensus-driven model prevents accidental updates and forces critical review of all note changes.

Coordinating full note lifecycle

You can build a system where one agent initiates the process by calling `create_notebook`. A second agent then uses that new ID to call `create_notecard`, simulating the entire workflow. The MCP Server provides all these functions, and AutoGen manages the dialogue required for agents to agree on the correct execution order.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Notebook 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 Notebook 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 Notebook_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Zoho Notebook 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="Zoho Notebook_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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

Common questions about Zoho Notebook MCP in AutoGen

You pass the MCP Server tools—like `get_notecard`—to your AssistantAgent. The agents then debate how to best combine these tool calls to achieve a desired note outcome.

Yes, the agents can coordinate deletion. A control agent might first check with `list_notecards` before another agent executes `delete_notecard`, ensuring no required data is lost.

The agents can debate whether to call `list_notebooks` or if they need a more granular search. They will converge on the best tool path needed to fulfill your request.

The MCP Server gives AutoGen all the functions it needs, such as `get_notebook` and `search_notecards`. This allows agents to act on real-time data rather than just theoretical knowledge.

This MCP Server touches note metadata, specifically notebook IDs and notecard details. Because multiple agents are involved in the process, you must verify access scopes carefully to prevent unauthorized reads or writes.
