Google ADK forum category management

Your agents call `list_forum_categories` to map out your site structure. This allows your Google ADK setup to route tasks based on the specific category a user posted in. You gain visibility into every section of your forum. The agent reads the list and decides which topics require immediate attention based on your custom logic.

Deep thread analysis for Google ADK

Fetch complete post histories using `get_topic_details` for any thread ID. Your Google ADK agent processes this content to generate summaries or sentiment reports. This flow works best when you feed the data into large context models. You get the full text of every reply without needing to scrape the frontend.

User activity tracking via MCP Server

Query member status with `list_active_members` to see who is currently posting. Your Google ADK agent uses this data to identify power users or community trends. You can also verify profile details with `get_user_profile` to confirm member status. It provides the exact context needed for your enterprise-grade automation.

Setup guide

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