How to Use the Pappers MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I add the Pappers MCP Server to a CrewAI agent?

Pass your Vinkius endpoint URL directly into the agent's mcps parameter during initialization. This instantly exposes all 12 French registry tools to that specific crew member.

Q: Can I restrict which Pappers tools a CrewAI agent can use?

Yes, use MCPServerHTTP from crewai.mcp along with a toolfilter. This prevents your research agent from wasting API credits on getcompanydocument while keeping it enabled for your legal agent.

Q: What python packages do I need for this setup?

Run pip install crewai "crewaitools" to get started. This installs the core framework and the necessary HTTP transport clients required to connect to the Pappers MCP Server.

Specialized Multi-Agent Corporate Audits

Avoid asking a single agent to do everything. CrewAI lets you deploy a specialized squad where Agent A uses `search_french_companies` to identify targets, while Agent B analyzes their corporate structures. The research agent passes the metadata to an analyst agent, which invokes `get_company_financials` to review balance sheets. This team-based approach mirrors a human compliance department, delivering deeper risk assessments.

Autonomous Registry Monitoring and Escalation

Let your agents run your background checks. A CrewAI monitoring agent can periodically call `list_monitored_companies` to scan for updates across your portfolio of French businesses. If the monitor agent detects a new legal filing via `list_bodacc_publications`, it escalates the case. It passes the company details to a senior auditor agent to fetch the official documents and draft an incident report.

Hierarchical Due Diligence via CrewAI MCP Server

Manage complex research tasks with strict oversight. CrewAI allows you to establish a hierarchical execution model where a manager agent coordinates how subordinate agents use the Pappers MCP Server tools. The manager assigns the initial `search_ultimate_beneficial_owners` task to a research agent, then directs an audit agent to verify the findings. No tool is run out of order, ensuring highly structured due diligence.

Setup guide

Set up Pappers 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 Pappers tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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