Analyze Clover stock levels with Google ADK

`list_inventory` connects your Google ADK agent directly to your stockroom database. The Gemini model handles massive context windows, allowing it to process thousands of stock items at once to identify slow-moving products. This Google ADK integration pairs Clover data with your BigQuery sales history. The agent references `list_categories` to suggest restock quantities based on seasonal trends.

Reconcile Clover orders using this MCP Server

`list_orders` lets your Google ADK agent pull daily POS records into your Google Cloud pipelines using this MCP integration. The agent scans transaction patterns to flag unusual purchase volumes or sudden returns automatically. You configure the toolset to pass active order details straight to Vertex AI. This lets you run predictive models on `get_order` outputs without manual data exports.

Manage Clover employee shifts via Google Cloud agents

`list_employees` exposes staff schedules directly to Gemini-powered enterprise agents. The Google ADK orchestrates shift coverage by matching employee availability against peak transaction hours. Your agent inspects `list_payments` to correlate specific staff shifts with high-value sales. This analysis runs entirely within your secure Google Cloud environment.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Clover MCP in Google ADK

Initialize the toolset with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint parameters. Pass that toolset instance directly into the tools list of your Google ADK agent.

Yes, specify allowed tool names in your ADK toolset configuration. This blocks your inventory agent from invoking payment or employee tools.

Gemini's long context window digests entire catalogs retrieved by `list_items` without breaking. This allows the agent to make accurate restock decisions across thousands of SKUs.

Google ADK supports both stdio and HTTP transports. Vinkius provides a managed HTTP endpoint that handles your live production traffic with zero local setup.

Vinkius processes your POS details inside an ephemeral V8 sandbox that destroys itself after execution. No customer names, employee shifts, or credit card records are cached on Google Cloud or Vinkius servers.
