Perplexity

Direct device manipulation with Google ADK

Execute commands to control your lights, speakers, and switches. Use `turn_on_alexa_device` or `turn_off_alexa_device` to perform actions based on your agent's logic. Adjust your environment settings by calling `set_brightness` or `set_volume` with specific parameters. The tools act immediately on the hardware assigned to your account.

Deep environmental data access

Retrieve current temperature or thermostat settings with `get_temperature_sensor` and `get_thermostat_state`. These inputs feed directly into your Gemini-powered agent for better reasoning. Check the state of any device by calling `get_power_state` or `get_brightness_state`. You get accurate snapshots of your home status whenever you need them.

Manage your connected hardware with this MCP Server

Use `list_alexa_devices` to map out your entire smart home configuration. This is the first step for any agent that needs to interact with physical assets. Update device details like names or room assignments using `update_alexa_device_name` or `update_device_room`. It keeps your metadata current as your home layout changes.

Setup guide

Set up Alexa Smart Home 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 Alexa Smart Home 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="Alexa Smart Home_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Alexa Smart Home tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Common questions about Alexa Smart Home MCP in Google ADK

Simply invoke the listing tool provided by the server through your agent. It returns a structured list of all hardware currently connected to your account.

Your agent can trigger individual devices directly using the available toolset. This allows for custom logic that goes beyond standard routine triggers.

The server provides fresh data on every call to ensure accuracy. You don't have to worry about stale device states when making decisions.

You retrieve them via the device list tool and pass them as arguments to subsequent commands. The server uses these IDs to route your actions to the correct hardware.

The server accesses your device list, friendly names, and current operational states. All traffic is encrypted in transit and isolated within our ephemeral sandbox.
