How to Use the Buildkite MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I set up the Buildkite MCP Server with Google ADK?

Install google-adk and define an McpToolset pointing to your Vinkius URL for Buildkite. Pass this toolset to your Google ADK LlmAgent to expose the tools.

Q: How do I restrict Google ADK from cancelling Buildkite runs?

Use the toolnames filter in your Google ADK toolset configuration to exclude the cancelbuild tool from your agent's environment.

Manage your Buildkite pipelines alongside your Google ADK enterprise workflows.

Perplexity

Trigger Buildkite runs from your Google ADK agent

Your Google ADK agent can initiate new runs using `create_build` or restart broken deployments using `rebuild` based on Gemini's analysis. This connects your Buildkite pipelines directly to Google ADK's 1M+ token context window. Before starting a run, the Google ADK agent uses `get_pipeline` to check the Buildkite configuration. This ensures your deployment matches the parameters defined in your Google ADK environment.

Inspect agents using this Buildkite MCP Server

Give your Google ADK agent the ability to check on your Buildkite machines by calling `list_agents`. This helps Google ADK monitor your build queue health in real time alongside BigQuery metrics. By combining this Buildkite MCP Server with Google ADK, your agent can analyze run history across your entire Buildkite organization using `list_all_builds`.

Multi-Org Management with Google ADK

Manage complex enterprise structures by letting your Google ADK agent query Buildkite workspaces using `list_organizations`. This ensures your Google ADK scripts operate in the correct Buildkite context. The Google ADK agent can also check its own permissions via `get_access_token_info` before pulling build history with `list_pipeline_builds`.

Setup guide

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