How to Use the CMS.gov Data MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I connect CMS.gov Data to my Google ADK agent?

You use the McpToolset class to point your agent at the server URL. The tools then become available for the LLM to call during its reasoning process.

Q: Can I use Google ADK to search CMS.gov Data for nursing homes?

Absolutely. The searchnursinghomes tool is exposed to your agent. You can query it by location or facility name to get current ratings.

Q: Does Google ADK support filtering CMS.gov Data by hospital type?

Yes. The searchhospitals tool returns metadata including hospital types like Acute Care or Critical Access. Your agent can filter these results internally.

Power your Google ADK agents with real-time healthcare data. Integrate CMS.gov Data for deep analysis on Google Cloud.

Fetch Provider Records with Google ADK

Use `search_providers_by_specialty` to identify clinicians within the Medicare network. Your agent brings this data into the Gemini context window for complex reasoning tasks. This MCP Server works with your existing Google Cloud infrastructure. You can pipe these results into BigQuery for long-term trend analysis or immediate reporting.

Access CMS.gov Data from Google ADK

Call `list_datasets` to see what is currently available in the catalog. Your agent can then select the right tool to pull specific Medicare utilization or quality metrics. Google ADK handles the transport layer effortlessly. You maintain full control over which tools your agent can actually run.

Retrieve Hospital Ratings via Google ADK

Pull facility quality scores using `search_hospitals`. Your agent interprets these ratings to help users find the best healthcare options based on government data. Since this MCP Server supports standard HTTP transports, it fits right into your existing agent pipeline. You get the data you need without overhead.

Setup guide

Set up CMS.gov Data 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 CMS.gov Data 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="CMS.gov Data_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to CMS.gov Data tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
