How to Use the Cloudinary MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I secure Cloudinary access in Google ADK?

You define a toolnames filter when initializing the toolset. This restricts the agent to only the specific actions you authorize.

Connect Cloudinary to your Google ADK agents for media-aware infrastructure.

Media search for Google ADK agents

Use `search_media_library` to pull relevant images into your Gemini-powered context. Your agent parses the results to make decisions based on actual file existence. This bridges the gap between your cloud storage and your reasoning engine. You get real-time awareness of your media assets during complex workflows.

Audit Cloudinary resources with Google ADK

Run `get_media_resource_details` to grab metadata for your assets. You pass this info directly into your BigQuery data pipelines for better reporting. It removes the need for manual lookups. Your agents handle the heavy lifting while you focus on the data analysis.

Manage transformations via Google ADK

Query your current setup using `list_media_transformations`. Your agent understands exactly how your assets are modified without requiring manual documentation. This MCP server exposes your configuration as code. You update your transformation logic and let your agent verify the changes immediately.

Setup guide

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