How to Use the Cornerstone OnDemand MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I configure Cornerstone OnDemand tools inside a Google ADK agent?

Install the ADK using pip install google-adk and initialize the McpToolset with your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass this MCP Server toolset directly to your LlmAgent to expose the LMS tools to Gemini.

Q: Can I limit which Cornerstone OnDemand tools my Google ADK agent can access?

Yes, use the optional toolnames filter when setting up your McpToolset. This lets you lock down sensitive operations and only expose harmless lookup tools like course listings.

Give your Google ADK agents direct access to Cornerstone OnDemand catalogs and employee records.

Audit employee training histories with Google ADK

The `list_user_transcripts` tool reads course enrollment statuses, completion dates, and scores. Your Gemini agent uses this MCP Server to analyze this data alongside your BigQuery records to find compliance gaps across your entire workforce. We use `get_user_details` to connect those completion scores to specific departments and manager hierarchies. This lets you generate localized training reports without export-import headaches.

Map skills to internal job postings

The `list_skills_inventory` tool lists every skill defined in your corporate directory. Your agent reads these definitions to understand the exact competencies required for each role. By calling `list_job_postings`, the agent matches those skill profiles against active internal and external openings. It flags qualified internal candidates automatically, saving hours of manual resume screening.

Query the course catalog at scale

The `list_courses` tool pulls metadata, durations, and delivery methods for all available training. Your agent feeds this data into Gemini's long-context window to build personalized learning paths for entire departments. Use `get_course_details` to check availability rules and content boundaries for specific modules. This ensures your agent only recommends courses that employees are actually allowed to take.

Setup guide

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

Yes, use the optional `tool_names` filter when setting up your `McpToolset`. This lets you lock down sensitive operations and only expose harmless lookup tools like course listings.

Yes, the framework handles both transport methods, but we recommend the streamable HTTP option for production cloud deployments. This keeps your server connection stable without managing local terminal processes.

Yes, your agent can pull transcript data from the MCP Server and join it with performance tables stored in BigQuery. This makes it easy to track how training affects actual business output.

Every request runs through an ephemeral, zero-trust environment that wipes all session data instantly. Your corporate directory details and email addresses are never cached or used for model training.
