How to Use the Bandcamp MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I initialize Bandcamp in Google ADK?

Install the ADK and configure StreamableHttpServerParameters with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass that into McpToolset to register the MCP Server, then hand it to your LlmAgent.

Q: Can Google ADK filter the Bandcamp tools it exposes?

Definitely. You can use the toolnames filter when setting up the toolset. This lets you restrict the agent to just search or getnewreleases if needed.

Q: Does Bandcamp and Google ADK support genre discovery?

Yes. Your agent calls gettags to fetch valid genres, then feeds those exact strings into discovermusic to pull matching albums and artist links.

Q: How do I find top selling independent records?

Tell your Gemini agent to run getbestselling. It returns titles, artists, artwork, and URLs for the top moving releases across the platform.

Feed independent music metadata directly into Gemini with Google ADK.

Query Bandcamp with Google ADK

Gemini thrives on massive context windows. Connect this MCP Server using `McpToolset` and let your agent pull thousands of independent music records into its reasoning engine. You skip the API boilerplate and go straight to analyzing trends. Pass the toolset to your `LlmAgent` and watch it work. It can hit `get_new_releases` for fifty different genres, dump the results into a massive prompt, and cross-reference them with your existing BigQuery datasets. The integration feels completely native to Google Cloud.

Deep metadata extraction via MCP Server

Surface-level stats rarely tell the whole story about an artist. Your agent uses `get_page_data` to rip structured tracklists, pricing, and embedded metadata straight from any profile or album URL. You decide exactly what the agent can touch. Use the optional `tool_names` filter in the ADK to restrict access to just extraction tools if you want. It grabs the raw JSON and Gemini parses the complex nested structures without breaking a sweat.

Map independent music trends

Tracking what moves the needle on the front page takes constant monitoring. Fire off `get_featured` to pull curated stories and editorial picks, then cross-check those artists against `get_best_selling`. The agent figures out the available categories by calling `get_tags`. It then loops through `discover_music` and `get_recommended` to build a massive knowledge graph of related artists. You just sit back and let Gemini process the relationships.

Setup guide

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