Collaborative support crews

Assign a researcher agent to `list_articles` and a support agent to `reply_to_issue`. They share the context of the ticket to craft accurate responses. Coordinate the workload. While one agent gathers account history, the other prepares the draft for the customer.

Autonomous ticket resolution

Let your crew handle routine inquiries using `list_knowledge_bases`. They find the right documentation and answer the user without human input. Escalate only when needed. If the crew fails to find an answer, they use `update_issue` to move the ticket to a human manager.

Knowledge base synchronization

Keep your documentation fresh by having an agent monitor internal updates. They use `list_tags` to categorize new articles for better searchability. Ensure your team uses the latest info. The agent checks the Pylon knowledge base before every reply, cutting down on outdated advice.

Setup guide

Set up Pylon 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 Pylon tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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