Key Capabilities
- Automated Statement Collection — List and retrieve metadata for all collected utility bills, including charges and periods.
- Consumption Monitoring — Access granular usage data for individual meters to analyze energy and resource patterns.
- Inventory Oversight — Manage your large-scale inventory of utility accounts and meters with ease.
- Global Provider Support — Interface with a vast network of electric, gas, water, and waste providers through a unified API.
- Data Integrity — Access verified, high-quality utility data suitable for financial and sustainability reporting.
- Secure Integration — Uses standard OAuth 2.0 authentication to protect your sensitive operational data.
Who is this for?
- Sustainability Managers — Effortlessly gather utility data for carbon footprint calculations and ESG disclosures.
- Accounts Payable — Audit utility billing across large portfolios to ensure accuracy and identify savings.
- Energy Engineers — Retrieve meter-level data to monitor efficiency improvements and resource consumption.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Arcadia Utility Cloud becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Arcadia Utility Cloud 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 get my Arcadia Utility Cloud credentials?
You can generate API Client credentials in the Arcadia Dashboard. These credentials provide access to the Utility Cloud (formerly Urjanet) datasets.
Is consumption data available for all meters?
Yes, basic consumption data is available via the get_meter_data tool for any meter successfully linked and scraped by the Arcadia platform.
Does this replace the Arcadia Plug server?
This server specifically targets Utility Cloud (historical and aggregate bill data), while Arcadia Plug is designed for real-time account linking and higher-resolution data. They can be used together.
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.
