How to Use the BrightHR MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I configure BrightHR tools inside Google ADK?

Use the McpToolset class to point to your hosted BrightHR endpoint. Google ADK supports standard MCP tools, letting you pass this toolset directly to your LlmAgent to let Gemini call the HR functions natively.

Q: Can I combine BrightHR data with BigQuery using Google ADK?

Yes. Your agent can call listemployees to fetch active staff and join that payload with BigQuery SQL query results in a single reasoning loop.

Feed BrightHR workforce data directly into Google ADK pipelines for deep enterprise analytics and long-context reasoning.

Analyze Leave Trends with the BrightHR MCP Server

The `list_absences` tool pulls historical leave records directly into your Google ADK environment. Gemini models ingest this raw data alongside your BigQuery operational tables to forecast staffing shortages. Because the model handles up to one million context tokens, you can pass years of absence history at once. The agent identifies seasonal patterns without needing pre-aggregated reports.

Sync Corporate Structures to Vertex AI

The `get_organization_info` and `list_employees` tools map your entire corporate hierarchy into your Vertex AI agent using our MCP integration. This mapping lets your enterprise search tools respect reporting lines when answering internal queries. You filter the tools exposed to the ADK toolset using the native tool names array. This ensures your Vertex pipelines only see structural data, keeping compensation details hidden.

Monitor Training Compliance in BigQuery

The `list_training_records` tool extracts professional development histories for your entire workforce. Your Google ADK agent matches these records against industry safety requirements stored in your cloud database. The agent flags missing certifications and writes the compliance gaps back to your dashboard. This automated verification loop keeps your workforce audit-ready without manual spreadsheet checks.

Setup guide

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