Equip specialized agents with financial math

A proper analysis crew requires specialized roles. You might have one agent acting as a researcher and another as a financial planner. This MCP gives your quantitative agents the exact mathematical capabilities they need to evaluate locked deposits. Assign `calculate_cd_yield` specifically to your number-crunching agent. It processes the compounding interest and passes the raw data to your analyst agent. The crew collaborates using accurate figures rather than hallucinated math.

Evaluate market context autonomously

Yields do not exist in a vacuum. Your analyst agent needs to know what liquid cash is paying right now. This tool provides the baseline metrics required for a complete market evaluation. Your research agent executes `fetch_market_benchmarks` to retrieve hardcoded rates for liquid alternatives. It shares these metrics in the shared memory pool. The moderator agent can then decide if the locked rate justifies the lack of liquidity.

Produce final investment reports in CrewAI

The end goal of your multi-agent team is a definitive recommendation. Building that recommendation requires comparing multiple scenarios side-by-side. You can delegate this final assembly to a dedicated reporting agent. Have your reporting agent call `generate_investment_comparison` to compile the final matrix. It takes the locked CD terms and compares them against the liquid benchmarks. The crew outputs a concrete, data-backed recommendation for the end user.

Setup guide

Set up CD Return Calculator MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke CD Return Calculator tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="CD Return Calculator Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze CD Return Calculator data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct CD Return Calculator access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent CD Return Calculator transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="CD Return Calculator Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze CD Return Calculator data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct CD Return Calculator access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent CD Return Calculator transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
