Shorten URLs with Google ADK

Execute `shorten_url` to generate branded links during your agent's execution flow. It takes your long destination and returns a shortened version immediately. Need a visual? `create_qr_code` outputs the necessary data for your agent to render a code. This is useful for automated marketing campaigns running on Vertex AI.

Review link performance in Google ADK

Query your link stats with `get_clicks` to see how your content performs. The agent parses these responses to generate insights for your BigQuery datasets. Use `get_countries` to see where your traffic originates. This data arrives in a format ready for your agent to map out global engagement.

Control Bitly groups via Google ADK

The `list_groups` tool allows your agent to see available organizational buckets. You pick the right group before executing further operations. Call `list_bitlinks` to view all assets in a specific group. Your agent can then iterate through these to perform bulk updates or audits.

Setup guide

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