What is the 4D MCP Server?
Bridge your 4D Server with the world of AI Agents through the power of ORDA (Object Relational Data Architecture). This integration transforms your 4D database into an intelligent, queryable knowledge base, allowing your AI agent to explore structures and manage records through natural conversation. No more manual REST calls; your agent can now audit catalogs, run complex entity queries, and perform high-speed CRUD operations, ensuring your 4D data is always accessible and actionable within your AI workflows.
What you can do
- Database Exploration — Retrieve the full catalog of DataClasses (tables) and their attribute definitions (fields) to map your data structure.
- Advanced Querying — Perform complex data lookups using filters, ordering, and expansion of related entities with ORDA syntax.
- CRUD Operations — Create, read, update, and delete records across any exposed DataClass in your 4D environment.
- Metadata Insights — Check server information, version, and database structure on the fly to ensure system integrity.
- Structured Access — Interact with your data using the modern ORDA model, ensuring consistency, type safety, and security.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your 4D Server Base URL and Credentials
- Start querying and managing your 4D database through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- 4D Developers — quickly audit data and test queries using natural language commands without custom code.
- Data Analysts — retrieve specific data subsets for reporting without writing manual HTTP requests or SQL.
- Business Admins — manage application records and look up information across tables easily from a single chat interface.
- Systems Integrators — verify REST API exposure and data availability in real-time during development.
Built-in capabilities (6)

Get a specific record by primary key
Supports ORDA-style query parameters like $filter and $orderby for advanced lookups. Query records from a specific DataClass (table)
Requires a JSON string payload. Update an existing record in the database
Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, 4D becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call 4D tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
How do I find which tables are available?
Use the get_catalog tool. It will return a list of all DataClasses (tables) exposed through the REST API in your 4D Server.
Can I filter data based on specific conditions?
Yes. Use the list_entities tool and provide an ORDA-style filter string in the $filter parameter (e.g., "status = 'active' AND price > 100").
Does this support creating new records?
Absolutely. Use the create_entity tool by providing the DataClass name and a JSON string containing the field data for the new record.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
