- Screening Contacts — Manage contacts for screening with full profile data, create new screening contacts, and inspect individual records
- Package Management — Browse available vetting packages and their included checks
- Result Tracking — Monitor check results with pass/fail status and compliance details
- Activity History — View submission and completion timelines
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your InfoVetted API Key
3. Start managing background checks from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- HR Teams — initiate background checks on candidates and track results

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, InfoVetted becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call InfoVetted 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
InfoVetted in CrewAI
InfoVetted and 3,400+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect InfoVetted to CrewAI through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for InfoVetted in CrewAI
The InfoVetted 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 12 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
Can I initiate a background check through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_new_vetting_check with the contact ID and vetting package to initiate a background check. Use create_screening_contact first if the person isn't in your system. Track progress with get_vetting_request_status.
Can I track the status of active vetting requests?
Yes. Use list_vetting_requests to see all requests with their current status. Use get_vetting_request_status for detailed progress on a specific check. Use cancel_active_vetting to stop a check that's no longer needed.
Can I manage screening contacts and their data?
Yes. Use list_screening_contacts to browse all contacts, get_screening_contact for individual profiles, and create_screening_contact to add new people to the system. Each contact can have multiple vetting requests associated.
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.
