How to Use the Cedar AI MCP in Google ADK
Connect Cedar AI to the Google ADK to let your Gemini agents act on live rail inventory and shipment data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Cedar AI MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Cedar AI 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.
Sync rail data with Google ADK
Your Gemini-powered agent calls `list_work_orders` to pull active tasks into its context window. It reasons over the entire list to prioritize your day. This MCP Server provides the bridge between your cloud data and the agent. You keep your operations running on Google infrastructure.
Execute railcar movements in Google ADK
The agent triggers `setout_cars` and `pickup_cars` based on your specific operational constraints. It logs these events as they happen. Engineers use this to automate yard management. The agent maintains the state while you focus on higher-level planning.
Query rail documentation efficiently
Use `get_waybill_details` to feed specific shipment info into your agent's long-context memory. It handles the parsing of complex rail documents. Your agent can now answer questions about specific waybills instantly. It saves time on manual lookups and document review.
