How to Use the BoxHero MCP in Google ADK

Q: How does Google ADK run BoxHero tools with Gemini long context?

The ADK sends the entire schema of tools like listtransactions to Gemini. The model processes the inventory logs inside its 1M+ token window to find trends or anomalies.

Sync your Google ADK enterprise agents with your BoxHero inventory using Gemini long-context reasoning.

Perplexity

Enterprise inventory sync via Google ADK

The `list_items` tool pulls your complete inventory catalog directly into the Gemini context window. Because the Google ADK handles long-context models, your agent can analyze thousands of stock items at once without hitting token limits. This MCP Server integration lets your agent compare this live inventory data against your warehouse tables in BigQuery. When it finds a discrepancy, it uses `update_item` to correct the stock counts or `create_transaction` to log the adjustment.

Automated multi-location stock movement

The `list_locations` tool exposes your entire warehouse layout to the agent, allowing it to plan complex logistics. The agent reads storage coordinates and schedules stock transfers across multiple hubs. Once the route is planned, the agent runs `create_transaction` via the MCP connection to execute the movement. You can restrict the agent's scope by filtering the toolset so it only accesses specific locations.

Batch catalog updates from Google Cloud

The `create_item` tool registers new stock arrivals as they land in your shipping docks through the MCP Server. Your agent reads shipping manifests stored in Google Cloud Storage and automatically builds the corresponding item profiles. To prevent duplicate entries, the agent uses `list_attributes` to check custom fields before adding new rows. If an item already exists, it switches to `update_item` to refresh the current details.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about BoxHero MCP in Google ADK

Instantiate the McpToolset class with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass this toolset to your LlmAgent to let Gemini access tools like `list_items` and `list_locations` automatically.

Yes. You can pass a list of allowed tool names to the toolset configuration, blocking the agent from accessing destructive tools like `delete_item` while keeping `get_item` active.

The ADK sends the entire schema of tools like `list_transactions` to Gemini. The model processes the inventory logs inside its 1M+ token window to find trends or anomalies.

Yes. The ADK supports both Stdio and Streamable HTTP transports, allowing you to run the connection locally or host it on Google Cloud.

Vinkius runs the server in an isolated V8 sandbox. Your storage locations, item attributes, and transaction logs are processed in memory and never stored on external disks.
