Multi-agent logistics orchestration with CrewAI

Assign research agents to query `list_shipments` while monitor agents track status updates. They share memory to keep the whole crew informed. This creates a self-correcting operation. One agent finds the problem, and another takes the action to fix it.

Automated warehouse coordination for CrewAI

Use `list_materials` and `list_locations` to map your inventory flow. Your agents coordinate between sites without human help. You gain massive throughput. The agents manage the logistical details while you focus on high-level strategy.

Autonomous route optimization via Pando MCP

Let your specialized agents call `list_routes` to compare transit times. They identify inefficiencies and propose adjustments automatically. It turns data into action. You get a crew that understands your logistics network and works to keep it moving.

Setup guide

Set up Pando 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 Pando tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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