How to Use the EmailOctopus MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I start with the EmailOctopus MCP Server and the Google ADK?

Just pip install google-adk and point the McpToolset to your Vinkius server URL. Your Gemini agent can then access all the EmailOctopus tools like getcampaigndetails.

Q: Can I filter which EmailOctopus tools my Google ADK agent sees?

Yes. The McpToolset constructor takes a toolnames argument. You can use it to expose only specific tools, like getcampaignperformancesummary, to an agent that only needs to build reports.

Q: How can a Gemini agent use EmailOctopus to analyze list growth?

Your agent can call listmarketinglists to get all list IDs, then periodically call getlistdetails for each one. This allows it to track subscriber and unsubscribed counts over time and report on trends.

Q: What's the difference between searchcontactsbyemail and getcontactprofile?

searchcontactsbyemail is for finding a contact's ID when you only have their email address. getcontactprofile takes that ID and returns the full contact record. An agent will typically use them together in a sequence.

Connect your Gemini agent to EmailOctopus and feed campaign performance data directly into your Google Cloud workflow.

Perplexity

Sync Campaign Data to BigQuery

Give your agent the tools to pull email marketing data for your data warehouse. It can use `list_email_campaigns` to get a full campaign history, then loop through each one with `get_campaign_performance_summary` to extract the metrics. Gemini's long context window is a good fit for processing the results from thousands of campaigns at once. The agent can hold the data in memory while it transforms it for ingestion into BigQuery.

Build Enterprise Reports with your Gemini Agent

This MCP Server exposes your EmailOctopus account as a set of tools for Google ADK. Your agent can perform a `quick_marketing_volume_audit` for a high-level summary or use `get_list_details` to check subscriber counts on specific lists. It's the fastest way to get marketing data into your Vertex AI pipelines. You don't have to write and maintain a custom data loader; just point the agent at the task.

Audit Contact Lists at Scale

Use the `McpToolset` to give your agent access to your contact lists. It can fetch all your lists with `list_marketing_lists` and then paginate through specific ones using `list_list_contacts`. This lets you build agents that can audit list hygiene or cross-reference your EmailOctopus contacts against other data sources you already have in Google Cloud.

Setup guide

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

`search_contacts_by_email` is for finding a contact's ID when you only have their email address. `get_contact_profile` takes that ID and returns the full contact record. An agent will typically use them together in a sequence.

The server processes EmailOctopus contact profile data and campaign metrics only when a tool is called. Each MCP server runs in a sandboxed Vinkius environment that is wiped after every request. Your data is only held in memory for the time it takes to process the API call.
