What you can do
- Transcription Oversight — List and retrieve detailed information and status for all your audio and video transcription projects.
- Content Intelligence — Access the actual transcribed text content and identified speaker labels directly via chat.
- Processing Monitoring — Track real-time processing progress, file durations, and language settings for your media library.
- Account Auditing — Retrieve high-level summaries of transcription activity, remaining minutes, and organizational metadata instantly.
How it works
- Connect the Ebby integration to your AI assistant.
- Authorize using your Ebby API Key (found in your account settings).
- Orchestrate your media transcription and content analysis through intuitive conversation.
Who is this for?

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Ebby becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Ebby 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 an Ebby API Key?
Log in to your Ebby account, navigate to Settings > API, and you can generate or retrieve your unique API Key from there. Ensure you have available minutes in your balance.
What export formats are supported?
Ebby supports exporting transcriptions in various formats including Plain Text (txt), Subtitles (srt, vtt), and Microsoft Word (docx). You can specify the format using the get_transcription_text tool.
Can the agent upload new audio files?
This integration currently focuses on listing, auditing, and retrieving text for existing transcriptions. Uploading and starting new transcription jobs should be managed via the Ebby web interface.
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.
