How to Use the Carbonara MCP in Google ADK
Render syntax-highlighted code images from massive Gemini contexts using the Google ADK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Carbonara MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Carbonara to Google ADK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Massive Context Rendering via MCP Server
Generating beautiful syntax-highlighted code images from massive codebases requires serious context. Gemini models hold over a million tokens, meaning they can analyze entire repositories at once to find the exact function you need. Invoking `cook_code_image` turns that specific block into a base64 PNG. You get a styled graphic with window controls, ready for your documentation site or internal wiki.
Native Google Cloud Workflows
Enterprise teams already store their logic and logs in BigQuery. Your Google ADK agent queries that data, finds the relevant snippets, and prepares them for visualization. The MCP Server pipeline moves the extracted logic straight into the renderer. It spits back a clean image without you ever leaving the Vertex AI environment.
Filtered Tool Execution
Exposing too many actions confuses even smart models. You restrict the agent by applying a `tool_names` filter when setting up the connection. The system only sees the image generation capability. This focused approach stops the model from hallucinating other commands and guarantees it sticks to creating visual code blocks.
Set up Carbonara MCP in Google ADK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
google-adkpackage (pip install google-adk) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install Google ADK
Run
pip install google-adkto install the Agent Development Kit. MCP support is included via theMcpToolsetclass. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
McpToolset.from_server()withSseServerParamspointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Create an LlmAgent
Pass the returned
mcp_toolslist directly toLlmAgent(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 Carbonara tools in your ADK agent.
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="Carbonara_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to Carbonara tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
