How to Use the Cheddar MCP in Google ADK
Give your Google ADK agents direct access to Cheddar billing data to merge subscription metrics with BigQuery analytics.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Cheddar MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Cheddar 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.
Feed billing history into Google ADK
Connecting the Cheddar MCP Server to Google ADK lets your Gemini models ingest entire billing histories using `list_cheddar_invoices`. Enterprise agents need massive context windows to spot churn patterns. The agent pulls the raw financial data and drops it directly into your Vertex AI pipelines. You filter the exposed capabilities using the `tool_names` parameter. If a reporting agent only needs read access, you restrict it to `list_cheddar_transactions` and `get_cheddar_product_info`. The model processes thousands of payment records at once thanks to Gemini's massive token capacity.
Merge subscription data with BigQuery
Your `LlmAgent` executes `get_cheddar_customer_details` to fetch current plan status, then cross-references that output against usage logs stored in Google Cloud. Analyzing revenue requires joining customer profiles with usage metrics. The MCP standard makes this cross-system querying trivial. The framework handles the HTTP transport automatically. You initialize the `McpToolset` with your Vinkius URL, and the agent starts pulling live subscription states. A scheduled job can identify at-risk accounts based on failed payments and trigger retention workflows.
Automated charge management at scale
Wrapping the `add_cheddar_charge` tool inside a Google ADK agent allows you to build automated remediation scripts. Manual billing adjustments slow down enterprise operations. When a customer upgrades via a chat interface, the agent applies the prorated charge instantly. Active promotions complicate these calculations. Before applying any fee, the agent checks `list_cheddar_promotions` to verify valid discount codes. You get precise, usage-based billing adjustments driven entirely by LLM reasoning.
Set up Cheddar 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 Cheddar 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="Cheddar_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to Cheddar tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
