What is the Kintone MCP Server?
Connect your Kintone instance to any AI agent and manage business applications through natural conversation.
What you can do
- App Management — List all apps and inspect their field configurations
- Record Operations — Create, read, update, and query records in any app
- Data Queries — Search records using Kintone query syntax with field filters
- Field Access — Browse app fields and their types for data modeling
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Kintone domain and API Token
- Start managing apps from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Operations Teams — manage business data without opening each app
- Developers — integrate Kintone data into AI workflows
- Managers — query records and track metrics across apps
Built-in capabilities (8)

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Kintone becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Kintone 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
Kintone in CrewAI
Kintone and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Kintone 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 Kintone in CrewAI
The Kintone 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 8 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.

How Vinkius secures
Kintone for CrewAI
Every tool call from CrewAI to the Kintone MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I query records across Kintone apps?
Yes. Query records using Kintone's query syntax with field filters, sorting, and pagination. Works across any app in your instance.
Does Kintone require a custom domain?
Yes. Each Kintone account has a unique domain (e.g., your-company.cybozu.com). Provide the domain and an API Token generated for the specific app.
Can I create and update records?
Yes. Create new records with field values, update existing records, and manage data across all your Kintone apps.
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.
