How to Use the Creatomate MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I add Creatomate to Google ADK?

Install google-adk via pip. Initialize an McpToolset using StreamableHttpServerParameters with your Vinkius MCP Server endpoint, then pass that toolset into your LlmAgent configuration.

Q: Can Google ADK search for specific Creatomate templates?

It uses searchtemplatesbyname to find exact matches. If you ask for the holiday promo template, the agent queries the API and returns the correct ID.

Q: Will my Gemini agent wait for a render to finish?

Not automatically. You must instruct the agent to poll getrenderstatus at intervals until it receives a completed MP4 URL.

Q: How do I restrict which Creatomate tools Google ADK can access?

Use the toolnames filter when setting up the toolset. You might allow template discovery but block the render command to prevent accidental API spending.

Perplexity

Process thousands of assets with Google ADK

The `list_media_assets` tool feeds your Gemini agent a complete inventory of available video clips and images. You feed BigQuery customer data into the agent context, and it maps the right media to the right user profile. Long-context reasoning shines here. Gemini holds the entire media library in memory while deciding which assets fit a specific localized marketing campaign.

Execute bulk video rendering

Triggering `render_video` generates custom MP4s based on dynamic inputs. Your agent pulls text from Vertex AI, formats it correctly, and fires it into the template. You track the output using `list_recent_renders` through the MCP Server. The agent parses the status of dozens of concurrent jobs and logs the final URLs back into a Google Cloud database.

Map template structures dynamically via MCP Server

Executing `get_template_details` reveals the exact layer hierarchy of your video files. The agent reads the JSON schema to understand which text fields accept modifications. This eliminates hardcoding entirely. You drop a new template into your project, and the agent automatically discovers the required inputs via the active connection.

Setup guide

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