Debate mass conversions

Let your agents negotiate the weight of ingredients. Use `convert_volume_to_weight` to provide the hard data for their discussion. This forces the agents to agree on a gram value. It prevents the vague discrepancies that ruin a bake.

Negotiate density specs

Use `get_ingredient_density` to verify the math behind your agents' decisions. They can cross-check density values before settling on a final weight. This keeps the team honest. It ensures the final result is based on actual kitchen metrics.

Resolve ingredient identity

Use `search_ingredients` to settle disputes on what an ingredient actually is. Agents can debate the search results until they reach a consensus. This creates a collaborative workflow. It makes the final output more accurate than a single agent could achieve.

Setup guide

Set up Ingredient Weight Converter 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 Ingredient Weight Converter 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="Ingredient Weight Converter_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Ingredient Weight Converter 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="Ingredient Weight Converter_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent Ingredient Weight Converter data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
