Execute Bonusly actions via Google ADK

Use the `give_bonus` tool to reward team members based on triggers from your Google Cloud environment. The ADK routes these calls directly to the server. This setup bridges your recognition platform with your existing data pipelines. It allows for complex logic that spans both your internal metrics and your team's contributions.

Analyze performance with Google ADK tools

Call `get_leaderboard` or `list_bonuses` to ingest recognition trends into your long-context Gemini models. You can process 1M+ tokens of history to generate summary reports. Your agent interprets this data alongside your BigQuery tables. It creates a unified view of employee output and team appreciation without manual data entry.

Filter tool access for Google ADK agents

Restrict your agent's capabilities using the tool_names filter. You can expose `get_user` while keeping administrative functions like `list_redemptions` private. This gives you granular control over what your agent can see. You maintain the security posture of your enterprise cloud environment while still benefiting from the automation.

Setup guide

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