How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Highnote API Key and select your Environment (Test or Live)
- Start managing your fintech program from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual querying of complex GraphQL schemas for simple account lookups. Your AI assistant acts as a dedicated Fintech Operations Lead or Card Program Manager.
Who is this for?

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Highnote becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Highnote 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 my Highnote API Key?
Log in to your Highnote dashboard, navigate to Settings > API, and you will be able to generate and copy your API key. Make sure to distinguish between Test and Live keys based on your environment.
What environments are supported?
The integration supports both the Test (Sandbox) and Live (Production) environments. You must specify which one you are connecting to during setup to ensure the correct API endpoints are used.
Can I freeze a card through this integration?
Yes! Use the update_card_status tool and set the status to FROZEN. This will immediately prevent any new authorizations on that card. You can set it back to ACTIVE to unfreeze it.
Is the integration secure for financial data?
Absolutely. The integration uses industry-standard Basic Authentication over HTTPS. Your credentials and financial data are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
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.
