Query BC Acts with Google ADK

Use `list_bc_acts` to generate a current index of all provincial legislation. Your agent parses this list to decide which specific act requires further investigation. This data arrives in your Google ADK environment formatted for long-context models. You can feed the entire index into Gemini to find specific legal gaps.

List consolidated laws in Google ADK

Invoke `list_consolidated_laws` to pull the latest versions of statutes and regulations. It gives your agent a clear view of the current legal state for your project. Your agent processes these lists to build a map of dependencies. It keeps your research accurate without manual intervention.

Get statute details via Google ADK

Call `get_bc_statute` to pull the full text of any law into your agent's workspace. It works perfectly with the high-token limits found in your Google Cloud setup. This MCP Server acts as a bridge between the provincial database and your agent. It gives the model the specific text needed to answer complex regulatory questions.

Setup guide

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