How to Use the Brandfolder MCP in Google ADK

Q: How does Google ADK connect to the Brandfolder MCP Server?

Define a McpToolset using the streamable HTTP parameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this toolset into your LlmAgent to expose the asset management tools.

Q: Can a Google ADK agent organize assets into Brandfolder collections?

The agent uses getcollectionassets to read current collections. It can then categorize or query assets inside those specific collections based on instructions from your cloud pipelines.

Q: How do I limit which Brandfolder tools Google ADK can access on this MCP Server?

Set the toolnames filter when initializing your McpToolset. This restricts the agent to specific tools like asset search while blocking destructive tools like deletion.

Q: Does the agent retrieve asset tags?

Yes, the listassettags tool verifies and retrieves the exact tags associated with any asset. The agent uses these tags to categorize files or trigger external cloud functions.

Connect your Google ADK enterprise agents directly to Brandfolder to manage and query digital assets.

Perplexity

Deep asset metadata extraction

The `get_asset_details` tool extracts the full metadata schema, tags, and attachment details for any asset. It returns structured JSON data directly into your agent's context block. Google ADK feeds this metadata into Gemini's long-context window, letting you run complex reasoning queries over our MCP Server data. You can cross-reference this metadata with BigQuery tables without hitting context limits.

Workspace discovery for enterprise datasets

The `list_global_brandfolders` tool lists every asset container available within your corporate workspace. It provides the logical IDs your agent needs to target specific storage buckets. Your Google ADK agent uses these IDs to narrow down search queries. This prevents the agent from scanning the entire organization when it only needs assets from a single department.

Target specific assets with Google ADK

The `get_brandfolder_assets` tool queries assets inside a specific brand folder using custom search parameters. It returns matching records, including tags and upload dates. This MCP Server allows your Gemini agent to pinpoint exact design files during automated marketing workflows. You can filter tools using the SDK's names filter to keep your agent focused only on search.

Setup guide

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