Run audit cost debates in AutoGen

Call `calculate_audit_costs` within an AutoGen conversation to let your finance agent and security agent debate audit spend. The finance agent can argue for minimizing external fees while the security agent reviews the operational impact. This MCP allows agents to query live financial models during their discussion. They negotiate the trade-offs of hiring external contractors versus building an internal audit team.

Let agents negotiate documentation workloads

Use `calculate_documentation_costs` to estimate the overhead of drafting policies. A compliance agent can present these costs to a project manager agent to determine the realistic timeline for IPO readiness. By integrating this MCP into your multi-agent conversations, you automate complex decision-making processes. The agents reach consensus on documentation budgets without human intervention.

Model ITGC spend using an AutoGen MCP Server

Run `calculate_itgc_costs` to estimate the financial burden of managing IT General Controls. Your engineering agent can challenge these estimates, arguing for automated system controls to reduce manual monitoring costs. Your coordinator agent can then call `get_compliance_summary` to present the final, debated budget to the user. This structured workflow ensures every financial projection is thoroughly reviewed by multiple agent perspectives.

Setup guide

Set up SOX Compliance Cost Estimator MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes SOX Compliance Cost Estimator tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="SOX Compliance Cost Estimator_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent SOX Compliance Cost Estimator data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="SOX Compliance Cost Estimator_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent SOX Compliance Cost Estimator data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
