Control cloud actors via Google ADK

Your agent triggers `list_actors` to see what is deployed in your cloud environment. It uses `get_actor` to pull specific metadata for decision-making. This gives your Google Cloud agents a way to interact with your automation layer. You can monitor runs and status updates in real-time.

Extract dataset items into Gemini workflows

Your agent pulls structured data into its 1M+ token context using `get_dataset_items`. It makes sense of large outputs without manual intervention. It works by listing available datasets with `list_datasets`. Once identified, the agent pulls exactly what it needs for the current reasoning step.

Audit infrastructure from your Google ADK agent

Use `list_schedules` to ensure your recurring tasks fire as expected. The agent also queries `list_tasks` to verify your environment state. This keeps your infrastructure operations centralized. Every tool call via this MCP server is logged within your existing Google Cloud tracing.

Setup guide

Set up Apify Alternative 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 Apify Alternative 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="Apify Alternative_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Apify Alternative tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
