Resolve margin disputes through agent debate

The `calculate_product_margins` tool provides the objective financial baseline for your multi-agent debates. In AutoGen, your finance agent can run the calculations and present them to a sales agent who might argue for keeping a low-margin product to drive volume. This structured conflict forces your agents to analyze the data from multiple angles. Instead of a single model guessing, you get a reasoned compromise based on hard margin data.

Audit portfolios with this AutoGen MCP Server

Use `detect_underperforming_products` to trigger an automatic audit loop between your supply chain and finance agents. The finance agent flags the underperforming items, while the supply chain agent investigates vendor costs to find out why the margin is lagging. This turns portfolio management into an automated, collaborative workflow. The agents debate the causes of poor performance and present a unified recommendation to you.

Negotiate cost reductions with simulated impacts

Run `simulate_cogs_savings_impact` to let your agents negotiate potential manufacturing changes. The supply chain agent proposes a vendor switch, and the finance agent simulates the exact margin impact to see if the quality risk is worth the savings. This simulation-driven debate ensures that cost-cutting decisions are thoroughly vetted. Your agents won't just suggest cuts; they will model the exact outcomes and agree on the safest path forward.

Setup guide

Set up Gross Margin Analyzer 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 Gross Margin Analyzer 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="Gross Margin Analyzer_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Gross Margin Analyzer 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="Gross Margin Analyzer_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Gross Margin Analyzer data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
