What is the Increase MCP Server?
The Increase MCP Server connects AI to a physical, fully compliant commercial US bank built explicitly top-down for programmatic transactions.
What you can do
- Endless Provisioning — Instantly generate new live bank accounts
increase_create_accountacting as sub-ledgers, enabling separate balances. - Open Payment Rails — Need to inject funds into a supplier directly using native American payment streams? Use
increase_create_achor sweep high-value overnightincrease_create_wiresecurely. - Simulation Environment — Use Sandbox arrays to trigger simulated money hits
increase_simulate_inbound_achchecking if an external agent script validates receiving deposits before going to production.
How it works
- In the Increase dashboard, decide if you're in Development (Sandbox) mode or Live (Production) mode.
- Obtain an API Key (
sk_testorsk_prod). - Plug the key directly into Vinkius to sync the core network natively with agent logic.
Who is this for?
- Platform Builders (BaaS) — Create internal software that orchestrates money mapping transparently.
- Advanced Corporate Ops — Fire up temporary transaction routing numbers to accept wires.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Increase becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Increase 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 I test money flows safely without losing real funds?
Absolutely. Increase has a top-tier sandbox environment. In your MCP settings, pass a Sandbox API Key (starting with sk_test_) and optionally set the environment to 'sandbox'. We even implemented literal tool overrides like increase_simulate_inbound_ach which are intentionally restricted exclusively to simulating inbound events on your test environment.
Does adding a new account via the Agent require paperwork?
No! Assuming your global LLC has already passed initial onboarding and your Entity object handles compliance, any subsequent programmatic calls to increase_create_account yield a fully compliant sub-ledger and associated numbers instantaneously contextually within the UI chat responses.
What is the difference between ACH and Wire transfer arrays here?
ACH acts through clearing houses taking normally 1-3 business days suited perfectly for non-urgent vendor mass payouts (create_ach). Wire transfers (create_wire) tie directly to Fedwire routing logic hitting banks internally within minutes - often bearing a slight static fee. Dictate which the bot should invoke based on liquidity needs.
How can I trace a specific payment?
We've added increase_list_transactions to handle historical booked transfers strictly by ID limits, exposing whether money cleared Fed limits safely.
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.
