Specialized Financial Teams

The Scholarship Eligibility Checker MCP powers autonomous financial review teams. CrewAI assigns different parts of the application process to specialized agents. One agent gathers the data while another runs the math. A data-entry agent passes the raw numbers to an analyst agent. The analyst executes `run_per_capita_math` to establish the baseline household financial status.

Sequential Execution Paths

Processing FIES applications happens in strict order. Your agents follow a sequential execution path to prevent skipped steps. The moderator agent watches the session memory. It triggers `evaluate_scholarship_rules` only after verifying all family members are accounted for in the initial data pull.

Restricted Tool Access in CrewAI

You do not need to give every agent access to the financial formulas. CrewAI lets you restrict tool access to specific roles. Use the filter parameter in your MCP Server setup. Only the dedicated financial agent gets permission to calculate the final bracket.

Setup guide

Set up Scholarship Eligibility Checker 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 Scholarship Eligibility Checker tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

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

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

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

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