Collaborative SLA math in CrewAI

The `business_deadline_tool` calculates deadlines on the fly by adding business days to a start date. This MCP gives your multi-agent teams a shared source of truth for scheduling, allowing one agent to identify a target date while another calculates the actual milestones. By offloading the date math to Vinkius, your agents do not struggle with Python timezone libraries. They get clean, structured outputs that pass perfectly between sequential tasks.

Multi-agent calendar date tracking

The `calendar_deadline_tool` calculates standard calendar day offsets for your scheduling needs. This is perfect for setting up monitoring loops where a monitor agent calculates a follow-up date and hands it off to an escalation agent if a task remains incomplete. Because Vinkius hosts the MCP, your entire crew shares the same connection. You do not need to configure complex transport layers for each individual agent in your Python script.

Automated regional holiday checks

The `holiday_registry_tool` fetches regional holiday data to keep your schedules accurate. This stops your autonomous crews from assigning work or sending emails on days when regional offices are closed. You can expose this tool selectively using CrewAI's tool filters. This keeps your agents focused only on the specific date calculations they need to perform.

Setup guide

Set up Deadline 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 Deadline Calculator tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

task = Task(
    description="List recent Deadline 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="Deadline Calculator Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Deadline Calculator data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Deadline Calculator access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

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

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