Q: Can I restrict which tools from ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates are exposed to Google ADK?

Yes, you can use the ADK's toolnames filter when initializing your toolset. This lets you expose only getexchangerate while hiding the bulk snapshot tools if your agent only needs single-pair lookups.

Feed official ECB exchange rates directly into your Google ADK enterprise agents and BigQuery datasets.

Inject official EUR rates into Google ADK pipelines

The `get_exchange_rate` tool pulls the official EUR exchange rate for any of the 40+ supported currencies directly from the ECB. Your enterprise agent retrieves this data using this MCP Server during runtime, allowing you to feed fresh rates into Vertex AI models or BigQuery tables. Using the Google ADK, you can configure your agent to limit tool exposure using the optional `tool_names` filter. This ensures your financial agent only calls the specific currency tools it needs, keeping your execution environment highly secure.

Process global currency snapshots with Gemini models

Let's break it down: the `get_latest_rates` tool fetches the complete set of daily reference rates published at 16:00 CET, including USD, GBP, JPY, and CAD. Gemini's million-token context window easily digests this entire daily snapshot, allowing the model to perform complex cross-rate calculations. You set this up by passing the server to `McpToolset` using `StreamableHttpServerParameters`. The ADK manages the transport layer, letting your agent focus on analyzing global EUR strength without manual data cleaning.

Run batch currency calculations inside this MCP Server

The `get_multiple_rates` tool lets your agent query several currency codes at once using a comma-separated list. Your agent can pull these rates, correlate them with your internal Google Cloud databases, and generate instant portfolio valuation reports. This MCP Server works out of the box with both Stdio and HTTP transports supported by the ADK. You get a direct, unhedged pipeline from the official European Central Bank feed straight into your enterprise workflow.

Setup guide

Set up ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates 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 ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates 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="ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to ECB Exchange Rates — Official EUR Reference Rates tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Yes, you can use the ADK's `tool_names` filter when initializing your toolset. This lets you expose only `get_exchange_rate` while hiding the bulk snapshot tools if your agent only needs single-pair lookups.

The ADK queries the active endpoint in real-time when the agent invokes `get_latest_rates`. As soon as the European Central Bank publishes the daily rates at 16:00 CET, your Gemini agent will receive the updated values on its next tool call.

No, the server operates independently of your cloud storage. However, you can easily write custom agent code to save the outputs from `get_multiple_rates` directly into a BigQuery table for historical analysis.

Your currency pair queries and EUR rate requests are processed in an ephemeral Vinkius sandbox. No financial data, API logs, or proprietary transaction details are persisted, ensuring complete isolation for your enterprise workflows.
