How to Use the Pando MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents use Pando tools to book trucks?

You register tools like createindent with your AssistantAgent using the MCP adapter. The agents discuss carrier options, select the best vehicle, and trigger the booking tool automatically.

Q: How do AutoGen agents handle rate limits on the Pando MCP Server?

The agents can monitor API availability using checkapistatus and space out their requests. This prevents rate-limit blocks during intense multi-agent discussions.

Q: Does this setup support complex multi-carrier negotiations?

Yes. Agents can pull carrier lists using listcarriers and vehicle details using listvehicles to simulate and debate the best logistics strategy.

Let your AutoGen agents debate freight logistics and coordinate vehicle bookings using Pando tools.

Coordinate Indents via AutoGen Agent Debates

The `create_indent` tool books the truck once your AutoGen agents agree on the best carrier. One agent checks rates while another reviews carrier performance, finding the sweet spot before booking via the MCP server. This debate keeps you from overpaying for freight. Once they agree, the execution agent secures the truck and logs the booking details.

Resolve Routing Conflicts using MCP Server Tools

The `list_routes` tool grabs the geographic lanes for your AutoGen agents to analyze. A routing agent suggests a fast path, but the finance agent flags budget limits. They settle the debate by checking `list_vehicles` to see what trucks are actually on the road. The final decision fits real fleet capacity. No theoretical routing plans that fail on day one.

Monitor Shipment Disputes and API Status

The `get_shipment_details` tool feeds live transit data to your tracking and customer service agents. If a shipment gets delayed, the agents debate whether to re-route or alert the dock. Before they start arguing, a coordinator agent runs `check_api_status` to verify the connection. This stops agents from debating over stale data when the feed is down.

Setup guide

Set up Pando 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 Pando 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="Pando_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Pando 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="Pando_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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