How to Use the CurrencyBeacon MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I configure CurrencyBeacon with Google ADK?

Install google-adk via pip. Create an McpToolset using your Vinkius URL and pass it into the tools array of your LlmAgent instance.

Q: Can Google ADK filter which CurrencyBeacon tools are active?

You can limit access using the toolnames parameter. This lets you expose the conversion tool while hiding the time-series tool from specific Gemini agents.

Connect Gemini models to live foreign exchange markets using Google ADK and our managed infrastructure.

Inject live rates into Gemini

The `get_latest_rates` tool gives your Google ADK pipelines immediate access to current foreign exchange markets. Gemini uses this fresh data to update BigQuery tables or adjust pricing models stored in Vertex AI. With Gemini's massive 1M+ token context window, you can pull current rates for every supported fiat currency at once. The agent handles the bulk JSON payload without losing track of your original prompt instructions.

Cross-reference BigQuery records

The `get_historical_rates` and `convert_currency` tools allow your enterprise agents to audit past transactions. When your agent scans a massive BigQuery dataset of international sales, it queries the exact exchange rate for each historical transaction date. You restrict which tools the agent sees using the optional `tool_names` filter in your `McpToolset` configuration. This keeps your agent focused on historical audits rather than getting distracted by live market feeds.

Analyze annual trends with this MCP Server

The `get_timeseries` tool fetches daily historical exchange rates for up to a full year. Your Google ADK agent pulls this structured time-series data and pushes it directly into Vertex AI for deeper machine learning analysis. Start by calling `list_currencies` to map out the available fiat pairs. Connecting this data requires just passing the `StreamableHttpServerParameters` URL to your `LlmAgent` setup.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about CurrencyBeacon MCP in Google ADK

Install `google-adk` via pip. Create an `McpToolset` using your Vinkius URL and pass it into the `tools` array of your `LlmAgent` instance.

Yes, it supports both Stdio and HTTP transports. The Vinkius managed endpoint works perfectly with Google Cloud's serverless architecture.

The time-series endpoint supports a maximum range of 365 days per query. Gemini can easily hold the resulting daily rate arrays in its long context window.

We never store your target currency pairs or conversion amounts. Vinkius executes your Google ADK requests in a transient V8 sandbox that wipes its own memory completely after returning the exchange rate payload.
