What is the Decodo (Smartproxy) MCP Server?
Connect your Decodo (Smartproxy) account to any AI agent to control your proxy endpoints, audit infrastructure, and track SERP/scraping data seamlessly. Interact with your server architecture and networking limits using natural language without jumping out of your IDE.
What you can do
- Inventory Management — Effortlessly pull a list of active
list_proxy_endpoints,list_datacenter_proxies, andlist_residential_proxies - Live Bandwidth Monitoring — Run
get_traffic_usagedirectly inside the AI prompt to see if you are about to hit your monthly data quota cap - Bot Statistics — Evaluate the health of your bots automatically by checking
get_scraper_statsfor eCommerce and SERP scrapers - Reselling & Accounts — Generate your
list_subscriptionsdetails, retrieve your general account health, or list all nested sub-users associated with the account
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Smartproxy (Decodo) API Key
- Start using Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client to query your IP pools
Stop clicking through multiple dashboard pages just to copy-paste your internal proxy endpoint port. Let your agent do it programmatically.
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers & Scrapers — pull the precise endpoint metrics, load stats on failure rates, and check if your pools are active while drafting crawler scripts
- Network Admins — list assigned dedicated networks (
list_dedicated_proxies) to diagnose potential rate-limiting errors from CLI - SaaS Operators — monitor sub-user metrics and their localized bandwidth usage effortlessly

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Decodo (Smartproxy) becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Decodo (Smartproxy) 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
Can the AI generate a script with my actual proxy endpoints already inserted?
Yes. While prompting inside an IDE like Cursor, you can ask 'Write a Python script using my residential proxy endpoint.' The AI agent will call list_residential_proxies in the background, harvest the legit port numbers, and assemble runnable code on the spot.
Is it safe to pull network architecture metrics inside Claude AI?
Absolutely secure. The MCP protocol bridges interactions locally. At no setup phase does Vinkius cloud servers retrieve your Smartproxy metrics directly—the exchange passes via your local agent bridging right into Decodo's endpoint.
Can it tell me my remaining bandwidth limit?
Yes. Ask the bot 'How much target data do I have left?' and it will orchestrate the results of both get_account_details (which returns quota details) and get_traffic_usage (which exposes used data) to compute the remaining bytes in conversational form.
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.
