Connect your Consensus account to any AI agent and take full control of your interactive video demo and buyer intelligence workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- DemoBoard Orchestration — List and manage your active DemoBoards programmatically, retrieving detailed metadata about leads and stakeholder engagement
- Demolytics Intelligence — Access real-time analytics to understand which sections of your automated demos are being watched, skipped, or shared by prospects
- Invitation Tracking — Programmatically monitor sent demo invitations and track outreach performance to coordinate perfectly timed sales follow-ups
- Asset Discovery — Retrieve a complete directory of all available interactive demos and assets in your library to maintain high-fidelity sales enablement
- Team Visibility — Access directories of account users and roles to maintain an organized sales team structure and permission oversight
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key and Secret from Consensus (Settings > Integrations > API Credentials)
3. Start managing your interactive sales pipeline from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual status checking of individual demo links. Your AI acts as your dedicated sales associate and demolytics coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Sales SDRs & AEs — instantly retrieve lead engagement summaries and monitor who is watching your demos using natural language commands
- Sales Operations — track overall demo performance and team usage metrics without leaving your communication tools
- Marketing Leads — monitor interactive asset popularity and buyer intent signals through simple AI queries

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, CONSENSUS becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call CONSENSUS 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

Why teams choose Vinkius for CONSENSUS in CrewAI
The CONSENSUS MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 6 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in CrewAI only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Consensus API Key and Secret?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > Integrations > API Credentials, and generate a new set of keys.
What are Demolytics?
Demolytics provide deep insights into buyer engagement, showing exactly which parts of your interactive demos were most valuable to a prospect.
Can I see all invitations sent via AI?
Yes! Use the list_invitations tool to retrieve a complete history of demo invites sent from your account programmatically.
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.
