How to Use the Better Stack MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I initialize the Better Stack MCP Server with Google ADK?

Use McpToolset with the StreamableHttpServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius hosted URL. Pass this toolset directly into your LlmAgent constructor to expose the tools.

Q: Can I restrict Google ADK to only read Better Stack data without modifying incidents?

Yes, you can pass a toolnames filter to your toolset configuration. This lets you expose listmonitors and block destructive tools like resolveincident. This keeps your MCP Server integration secure.

Q: How does Gemini's long context window interact with the Better Stack MCP Server?

The Google ADK agent can ingest massive payloads from listincidents and analyze them all at once. This allows the model to find patterns across hundreds of past outages without running out of token space.

Analyze long-term downtime trends and manage Better Stack alerts directly from your enterprise Google ADK agent pipelines.

Perplexity

Correlate BigQuery Data with Better Stack Alerts

The `list_incidents` tool feeds historical outage logs from Better Stack directly into your Google ADK runtime. Your agent can pull detailed timelines using `get_incident` to map system errors against database logs. Because Gemini handles massive context windows, you can dump months of incident data alongside BigQuery infrastructure metrics. This lets your agent spot correlations between database memory spikes and site downtime.

Automated On-Call Scheduling via Google ADK

The `list_on_call` tool imports your exact Better Stack routing calendars into your Google Cloud agent environment. If an alert triggers, the agent immediately knows which engineer is on shift. The agent uses `acknowledge_incident` to pause phone calls and SMS alerts once the engineer confirms receipt. This prevents alert fatigue by managing the paging flow programmatically.

Monitor Status Pages and Heartbeat Nodes

The `list_status_pages` tool exposes your public-facing status configurations to the Google ADK environment. Your agent checks public availability alongside internal performance metrics to ensure alignment. For background scripts, the agent queries `list_heartbeats` and `get_heartbeat` to verify backup jobs finished on time. It uses `get_monitor` to check HTTP response times across your global endpoints.

Setup guide

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