How to Use the Exa AI MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I trigger a semantic search query with Exa AI in my Google ADK agent?

Assign the semanticsearch tool to your agent's toolset. When the agent determines it needs external context, it will invoke the search tool automatically.

Q: Can I use Exa AI to crawl specific pages in my Google ADK environment?

Yes, performlivecrawl allows your agent to fetch fresh page content. It's useful for agents that need to process data as it appears on the web.

Q: Is there a way to verify connection health for Exa AI within Google ADK?

The getapistatus tool provides a health check for the server. You can run this as a periodic task to ensure your agent stays connected.

Connect Exa AI search tools to your Google ADK agent for enterprise-grade reasoning.

Perplexity

Direct Google ADK connection

Register this MCP Server using `McpToolset` to make all twelve tools available to your Gemini-powered agents. The setup integrates directly with your existing Google Cloud infrastructure. You can restrict which tools your agent sees by using the tool name filter. This keeps your agent's focus sharp and reduces the risk of accidental tool calls.

Search and analyze with Google ADK

Use `advanced_custom_search` to feed complex, multi-parameter queries into your agent's long-context window. Gemini models handle the output from these tools with high precision. Since your agent has access to `search_by_category`, you can categorize web results before they hit your BigQuery pipelines. This organizes your data intake at the source.

Maintain search state with this MCP Server

Monitor your search availability via `get_api_status` to ensure your enterprise agents stay operational. Reliable connectivity is key when you rely on external data for your workflows. When your agent needs to find related information, `find_similar_pages` returns URLs based on existing content. This creates a logical flow for research-intensive agent tasks.

Setup guide

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