Execute parity calculations with specialized agents

Assign the `calculate_farm_gate_parity` tool to your analyst agent. It calculates the net return for your crew to review before finalizing any deals. This lets your agents specialize in their tasks. One agent focuses on the numbers while another prepares the report.

Monitor market shifts autonomously

Use `analyze_market_opportunity` to run continuous market checks. Your crew can alert you the moment an export opportunity becomes more profitable than local sales. This keeps your trade operations running around the clock. Your crew agents act on the data without waiting for your input.

Coordinate logistics cost analysis

Equip your operations agent with `get_transportation_rate` to track shipping expenses. The agent verifies the rates against your budget constraints before authorizing the shipment. This creates a self-regulating logistics team. It ensures you never overpay for freight based on outdated estimates.

Setup guide

Set up Export Parity 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 Export Parity Calculator tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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