Multi-agent culinary debate

Cooking a perfect egg requires balancing several physical variables. This MCP lets you set up a multi-agent system where a chef agent and a timer agent negotiate the best approach. The chef agent can run `validate_egg_parameters` to check if the user's input makes physical sense. If the egg is too cold or too large, the agent flags it before passing it to the calculation step.

Consensus-driven timing calculations

Don't rely on a single agent's guess for cooking times. This MCP Server allows your AutoGen agents to verify calculations against physical laws. By executing `calculate_boiling_time`, your timer agent provides a mathematically sound duration. The other agents can then debate whether to adjust this time for altitude or specific kitchen equipment.

Defining texture standards through consensus

What one agent calls soft-boiled, another might call raw. You need a common standard to prevent confusion during the multi-agent conversation. The `get_texture_descriptions` tool gives your agents a shared culinary vocabulary. They can reference these official definitions to ensure everyone is talking about the exact same yolk consistency.

Setup guide

Set up Egg Boiling Timer MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes Egg Boiling Timer tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

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

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="Egg Boiling Timer_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Egg Boiling Timer data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

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

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="Egg Boiling Timer_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Egg Boiling Timer data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about Egg Boiling Timer MCP in AutoGen

You use the extension package to fetch the tools from your Vinkius endpoint. Then, pass the resulting tool list to your AssistantAgent constructor. The schema conversion happens automatically.

Yes, it supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP. This makes it easy to run your multi-agent kitchen workflows in cloud environments or local terminal setups.

The critic agent can check the inputs and outputs, but the math itself is based on solid thermodynamics. The critic is better off debating user preferences or altitude adjustments rather than the core calculation.

They pass the tool outputs through the group chat context. When one agent calculates the time, the others immediately see the result and can plan the next steps in the recipe.

Yes. All egg dimensions, starting temperatures, and texture choices stay within your local AutoGen execution context and secure Vinkius connection. No culinary data is ever stored or tracked on external systems.
