How to Use the Datalastic Maritime MCP in Google ADK

Q: Is it possible to limit which Datalastic Maritime tools Google ADK sees?

Yes. Pass a list to the toolnames filter when setting up the toolset. That restricts the agent to specific functions like searchmaritimevessels.

Perplexity

Feed AIS tracks into BigQuery

Enterprise logistics models need massive amounts of historical data. Your Gemini agent can pull months of movement using `get_vessel_history` and dump that straight into your Google Cloud infrastructure. The massive token context window handles enormous track logs easily. Matching those tracks to physical ships requires technical details. The `get_vessel_pro_specs` tool grabs the exact dimensions and draft for your selected fleet. Your agent joins this live MCP Server data with your existing BigQuery tables.

Monitor exclusion zones with Google ADK

Supply chain risks often involve ships wandering into restricted waters. You can set up a scheduled agent to run `find_vessels_in_radius` around specific lat/long coordinates. Gemini parses the resulting ship list to flag unauthorized entries. Getting granular status updates takes one more step. The agent triggers `get_vessel_status` on any flagged ship to check its speed and heading. All of this runs natively within your Vertex AI environment.

Map global port infrastructure

Finding alternative docking locations during a strike requires fast searches. The `search_ports_by_country` tool gives your agent a complete list of regional options instantly. Once Gemini picks a target, it needs the exact location. Calling `get_port_details` returns the precise coordinates. You filter the exposed MCP tools using the tool_names parameter so the agent only accesses port functions if that is its specific job.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Datalastic Maritime MCP in Google ADK

Use the McpToolset class with StreamableHttpServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius URL. Pass that toolset into your LlmAgent initialization.

Gemini's massive context window eats large JSON responses for breakfast. You can query multiple ships and feed the raw output directly into the prompt.

Yes. Pass a list to the tool_names filter when setting up the toolset. That restricts the agent to specific functions like search_maritime_vessels.

The ADK supports both Stdio and HTTP transports. For Vinkius-hosted endpoints, you will use the Streamable HTTP option.

We route your requests through ephemeral V8 sandboxes. Vessel names, radius parameters, and port queries never persist on our servers after the HTTP response fires.
