How to Use the Ask Kodiak MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I configure the Ask Kodiak MCP inside Google ADK?

Create an McpToolset using StreamableHttpServerParameters and your Vinkius URL. Assign that toolset to your LlmAgent via the tools parameter.

Q: Can Google ADK filter which Ask Kodiak MCP tools the agent sees?

Yes. You use the toolnames filter when initializing the toolset. This restricts Gemini to specific functions like suggestnaics or listcompanies.

Give your Google ADK agents direct access to Ask Kodiak commercial insurance markets via this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Ground Gemini in real insurance appetite

Large language models invent insurance policies when they lack context. Connecting this MCP Server to your Google ADK setup fixes that. Your agent calls `list_products` to pull actual, current commercial insurance offerings directly into Gemini's context window. It scales perfectly with Google Cloud. You pass `McpToolset` into your `LlmAgent` and Gemini starts matching business risks to carrier appetite. The system uses `suggest_naics` to classify the business before looking for coverage.

Cross-reference BigQuery with Ask Kodiak

Enterprise brokers already have client data sitting in BigQuery. Now your agent can read a client profile from your database and immediately run `get_company_products` to find matching carriers. The integration happens natively within your Vertex AI pipeline. You filter out the noise. If your agent only needs specific tools, you apply a `tool_names` filter in the ADK to restrict access. It might only expose `list_classifications` to a junior underwriting agent.

Deep dive into carrier details

Gemini's massive 1M+ token context window changes how you handle insurance data. Your agent can run `get_product` across dozens of policies simultaneously. It dumps the full appetite details into context and reasons across all of them at once. Setup requires just a few lines of Python. You configure `StreamableHttpServerParameters` with your Vinkius URL. The agent verifies its connection via `get_account_check` and gets to work finding markets.

Setup guide

Set up Ask Kodiak 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 Ask Kodiak 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="Ask Kodiak_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Ask Kodiak tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Common questions about Ask Kodiak MCP in Google ADK

Create an `McpToolset` using `StreamableHttpServerParameters` and your Vinkius URL. Assign that toolset to your `LlmAgent` via the `tools` parameter.

Yes. You use the `tool_names` filter when initializing the toolset. This restricts Gemini to specific functions like `suggest_naics` or `list_companies`.

Gemini handles it easily. Its enormous context window ingests the massive arrays from `list_products` without dropping details.

It does. The ADK supports both Stdio and HTTP transports. You point the HTTP transport directly at your managed Vinkius endpoint.

Vinkius operates on a zero-trust architecture. Your queries for industry classifications and carrier products pass through an ephemeral instance. We never log your proprietary risk profiles.
