# Connect to Vinkius
client = SSEClient(url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
tools = client.get_tools()

Define the Tool

Load the Vinkius MCP tools into your CrewAI agents:

from crewai import Agent
from mcp_crewai import MCPTool

# Connect securely to Vinkius
vinkius_tools = MCPTool(url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")

# Assign to Agent
researcher = Agent(
    role='Data Researcher',
    tools=vinkius_tools.get_all()
)

Execute Task

Run your CrewAI process. The agent will autonomously route tasks to the Vinkius managed server.
