Query ingredients with Google ADK

The `analyze_nutrition` tool parses ingredient lists into raw caloric and macro data. You can pipe this directly into your BigQuery tables for long-term health tracking. Since you are working within the Google ADK, the agent handles the context window efficiently. It keeps the nutritional data in memory, perfect for agents managing high-volume data processing.

Filter recipes using agent logic

Use the `search_edamam_recipes` tool to fetch meals that align with your specific health criteria. The tool supports granular filtering by cuisine or dietary restrictions. Your agent can interpret these results and compare them against existing datasets. It turns a simple search into a complex reasoning task within the Google Cloud ecosystem.

Enterprise-grade MCP infrastructure

The server connects to your Google ADK agent via `McpToolset`. It supports both Stdio and HTTP transports, so you can choose the setup that fits your current cloud architecture. Use the tool_names filter if you only want to expose specific Edamam functions to your agent. This keeps your agent's toolset lean and focused on the tasks you need.

Setup guide

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