Autonomous referral operations with CrewAI

Assign a dedicated agent to monitor your campaigns using `list_subscribers`. Your crew works asynchronously to maintain your referral funnels. Specialized agents handle the heavy lifting while the moderator agent validates the output. You define the hierarchy and let the crew manage the subscriber lifecycle.

Collaborative reward management in CrewAI

Let your research agent call `get_rewards` to inform the strategy agent's decisions. The crew collaborates to optimize your campaign incentives. Shared memory allows your agents to remember previous campaign results. They adjust their actions without asking you for help.

Scalable conversion tracking for CrewAI

Execute `track_conversion` across your entire fleet of agents to log activity. Each agent reports back to the lead for aggregate analysis. This architecture keeps your operations running at scale. You monitor the dashboard while the crew handles the day-to-day subscriber management.

Setup guide

Set up ReferralHero 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 ReferralHero tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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