How to Use the Zoopla MCP in AutoGen
Force consensus on market insights using AutoGen agents with Zoopla data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Zoopla MCP to AutoGen
Create your Vinkius account to connect Zoopla to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Debate property value assumptions
Set up an agent to debate the true valuation of an area. One agent can call `zed_index` for a baseline estimate, while another challenges that number by running `average_sold_prices`. The system then converges on a consensus figure. This deliberation is ideal when you need multiple perspectives on one metric. It forces the answer to be vetted against two distinct types of market data.
Challenge listing completeness
Use AutoGen agents to debate whether current listings are exhaustive. One agent pulls `property_listings` for an area, and a second agent challenges that dataset by calling `local_info_graphs` to check historical market activity. The negotiation reveals potential gaps in the data. This multi-agent setup helps surface assumptions—for instance, determining if low sales volume is due to lack of listings or poor local infrastructure scores.
Determine best area for investment
You can build a system where agents debate the best buying opportunity. Agent A checks `property_rich_list` to identify high-value streets, while Agent B uses `local_info_graphs` to verify sustained local development interest. The final conclusion comes from their negotiation. This is superior to simple tool execution because the agents actively weigh competing data points against each other.
Set up Zoopla 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 includesmcp_server_toolsfor 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
AssistantAgentand callagent.run(). The agent invokes Zoopla tools and returns structured results.
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="Zoopla_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
tools=tools,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Zoopla 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.
McpWorkbenchis 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=workbenchto your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.
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="Zoopla_assistant",
model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
workbench=workbench,
)
result = await agent.run("List recent Zoopla data")
