How to Use the CoinGecko MCP in Google ADK

Q: How does CoinGecko work with Google ADK?

You wrap the server in an McpToolset and pass it to your LlmAgent. It connects via standard HTTP or Stdio transport.

Q: Is CoinGecko data compatible with Google ADK reasoning?

Yes. Gemini models interpret the output from getprice or listexchanges as structured context. It processes the information just like any other document.

Q: Can I filter CoinGecko tools in Google ADK?

You can use the toolnames parameter when defining your toolset. This prevents the agent from calling unauthorized functions.

Direct market lookups in Google ADK

Run `get_coin_details` to pull technical specs into your Gemini-powered agent. It works seamlessly with your existing BigQuery data sets. Your agent uses the data as context for reasoning. Since Gemini handles large token windows, you can pass extensive market histories through the tool output.

Query global stats with the CoinGecko MCP Server

Use `get_global_data` to inform your agent about total market cap or dominance. It’s perfect for agents managing enterprise portfolios on Google Cloud. You can even use the `tool_names` filter to restrict which functions the agent can call. This keeps your infrastructure lean and secure.

List and categorize assets via Google ADK

Trigger `list_categories` or `list_markets` to organize data for your agent. This turns raw crypto lists into actionable insights for your internal tools. The integration handles the transport layer for you. Your agents pull this data directly from the Vinkius endpoint while remaining inside your cloud VPC.

Setup guide

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