Control 8x8 messaging via Google ADK

Dispatch text-based updates to your team using `send_chat_message` inside your Gemini-powered agent. It maps your business logic directly to your communication channels. Check if your messages hit the mark by querying `get_sms_status`. You get real-time feedback on delivery within your agent's reasoning chain.

Integrate 8x8 verification into Google ADK agents

Run identity checks by calling `send_verification` as part of your agent's task list. It turns a manual security step into a background task for Gemini. Validate the result with `check_verification` to confirm the user is who they claim to be. This keeps your agent's actions restricted to verified personnel.

Track 8x8 usage in Google ADK

Keep tabs on your spending by using `get_account_balance` inside your agent framework. It provides a quick way to audit costs without leaving your workspace. Use `check_8x8_status` to ensure your connection remains healthy. Your agent detects outages before your users do.

Setup guide

Set up 8x8 MCP in Google ADK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
google-adk package (pip install google-adk)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install Google ADK

Run pip install google-adk to install the Agent Development Kit. MCP support is included via the McpToolset class.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use McpToolset.from_server() with SseServerParams pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create an LlmAgent

Pass the returned mcp_tools list directly to LlmAgent(tools=mcp_tools). The ADK maps each MCP tool to a native Gemini function call — no manual schema definitions required.
4

Run with any Gemini model

The agent works with any Gemini model (gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-2.5-pro, etc.). Copy the full example on the right to get started with 8x8 tools in your ADK agent.

agent.py

from google.adk.agents import LlmAgent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import SseServerParams

# Connect to the MCP via SSE
mcp_tools, exit_stack = await McpToolset.from_server(
    connection_params=SseServerParams(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    )
)

# Create your agent with auto-discovered tools
agent = LlmAgent(
    name="8x8_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to 8x8 tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
