How to Use the Dropbox MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I search Dropbox files from a Google ADK agent?

You invoke the searchfiles tool. The agent sends your query, and the Dropbox server returns the matching file list.

Q: Can Google ADK agents see my Dropbox space usage?

Yes, by calling getspaceusage. The agent receives a report on your current storage consumption to inform its next steps.

Q: Does the Google ADK support Dropbox mountable folder listing?

It does. You use listmountablefolders to see what is available to add. Your agent then handles the logic for interacting with these paths.

Bring your Google ADK agents into your cloud storage. Manage files and monitor usage directly from your enterprise workflow.

Perplexity

Full directory control in Google ADK

Execute `list_folder` to pull your file tree directly into your agent's context. It identifies file types and sizes so your agent knows what it is dealing with. This visibility allows your agent to sort and organize your cloud data. It works by mapping your remote storage into the agent's logic.

Advanced search for Google ADK

Use `search_files` to find assets across your entire storage volume. Your agent identifies the right file based on your criteria without manual browsing. It follows up with `get_metadata` to verify file attributes. This sequence ensures the agent works with the correct version of your documents.

Automated shared link management

The agent monitors collaboration using `list_shared_links`. It keeps track of what you have exposed to others without manual audits. You can also run `list_shared_folders` to see active team directories. The agent keeps your storage organized and your permissions clear.

Setup guide

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