How to Use the Copernicus Data Space MCP in Google ADK
Feed Copernicus satellite metadata straight into your Google ADK pipelines for enterprise-grade geospatial analysis in BigQuery.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Copernicus Data Space MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Copernicus Data Space 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.
Run geographic searches within Google ADK
`search_by_bbox` scans the Copernicus catalog using a geographic bounding box to find relevant satellite passes over your target region. This tool feeds coordinates directly to Gemini's long-context window, letting the model compare multiple dates at once. To narrow the search, `list_attributes` returns the specific metadata keys available for that collection, such as cloud cover percentage or orbit direction. Your enterprise agent uses these attributes to filter out bad data before saving results to BigQuery.
Analyze satellite product structures before downloading
`list_product_nodes` exposes the entire file tree of a Sentinel product, including measurement data and metadata XML files. Your agent reviews this layout to locate specific bands or auxiliary files without downloading the multi-gigabyte SAFE package. If the agent needs a visual check, `get_quicklook` fetches thumbnail previews and structure details. This allows the model to confirm the image is cloud-free before triggering heavy data pipelines.
Generate secure download URLs via MCP Server
`get_product_download_url` provides an authenticated URL and a Bearer token valid for one hour to download raw data. Your agent passes this temporary link to your Google Cloud Storage ingestion pipelines. To ensure your API access remains active, `check_copernicus_status` verifies your credentials. This MCP Server tool keeps your automated workflows online because the agent can self-diagnose connection issues.
Set up Copernicus Data Space 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 Copernicus Data Space 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="Copernicus Data Space_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to Copernicus Data Space tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
