How to Use the Bear MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I initialize the Bear MCP Server in Google ADK?

You use the McpToolset class and pass the Vinkius HTTP URL. Then, pass that toolset object into your LlmAgent constructor to expose all ten tools to Gemini.

Q: Can Google ADK agents edit my Bear notes?

Yes. The agent uses addtext to append new logs or markdown chunks to any existing note. It can also create entirely new notes from scratch using createnote.

Q: Does Google ADK support tag cleanup in Bear?

Yes, the agent can use renametag and deletetag to organize your workspace. It queries the taxonomy with listtags first to map out the hierarchy before making changes.

Let Gemini agents query, edit, and tag your local Bear notes using the enterprise-grade Google ADK.

Enterprise Knowledge Synthesis with Google ADK

This MCP Server exposes the `open_note` and `search_notes` tools to let Gemini ingest your entire personal knowledge base. Your agent can pull hundreds of markdown files directly into its massive million-token context window for deep analysis. You can feed your enterprise agent complex prompts that cross-reference your internal Bear documentation with live data from BigQuery or Vertex AI. The agent reads the exact markdown files it needs to build a detailed answer.

Automated Markdown Creation and Appending

The `create_note` and `add_text` tools allow your agent to write new reports and append fresh data to existing files. It takes raw analytical outputs from your Google Cloud pipelines and formats them cleanly into your personal wiki. This eliminates the friction of copy-pasting report summaries. Your agent handles the formatting, inserts the correct headers, and appends the latest updates to your running logs automatically.

Global Tag and Taxonomy Management

The `list_tags` and `rename_tag` tools give your agent full control over your note organization. It inspects your parent-child tag structures and updates them globally to match your enterprise naming conventions. If a project name changes, the agent renames the tag across all mapped files in seconds. You keep a perfectly organized workspace without touching a single manual menu.

Setup guide

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