How to Use the Dagster MCP in Google ADK
Connect Gemini agents to your data pipelines with Google ADK and the Dagster MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Dagster MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Dagster 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.
Analyze Dagster Run Logs inside Google ADK
The `list_runs` and `get_run` tools fetch pipeline execution metadata directly into your Gemini agent via the MCP Server. This allows your agent to match failed pipeline runs with downstream tables in BigQuery. Gemini's million-token context window handles massive run logs without breaking a sweat. You feed the entire raw traceback from a failed run into the model to find the broken database query in seconds.
Map Software-Defined Assets to Vertex AI
The `list_assets` tool exposes your entire Dagster asset catalog to Google ADK. Your agent checks the asset graph to find out which machine learning models need retraining based on new data arrivals. Data engineering meets AI here. Our agent reads the asset status, verifies the upstream dependencies, and triggers Vertex AI training jobs only when the data is fresh.
Track Active Jobs, Schedules, and Sensors
The `list_jobs`, `list_schedules`, and `list_sensors` tools give your Google Cloud agent full visibility into pipeline timing. It queries these tools to see if a sensor missed an external file arrival. You get clean, structured data back from the server. Gemini uses this info to update your operational dashboards or ping your team on Google Chat when a schedule slips.
Set up Dagster 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 Dagster 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="Dagster_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to Dagster tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
