How to Use the ExchangeRate- MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I add ExchangeRate- to my Google ADK agent?

You define an McpToolset using the provided HTTP server parameters. Pass this set into your LlmAgent tool list, and it will be ready to execute.

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

Yes. You can use a toolnames filter to restrict access. This is useful if you want to limit your agent to only specific conversion functions.

Connect ExchangeRate- to your Google ADK agent and push currency data straight into BigQuery.

Direct currency conversion for Google ADK

Your agent can execute `get_pair_conversion` to handle user requests instantly. It works natively within your Google ADK `LlmAgent` setup. By adding this MCP Server to your toolset, you get precise exchange logic without writing custom middleware. It's built to keep your agent's response time low while maintaining high accuracy.

Bulk data ingestion for Google ADK

Use `get_enriched_data` to pull large sets of currency metadata into your workflow. This is ideal for agents that need to prepare reports for your Google Cloud infrastructure. Your agent can trigger these calls in sequence, allowing you to aggregate data across multiple currencies. It fits perfectly into pipelines that rely on BigQuery for long-term storage.

Manage your API budget from Google ADK

Monitor your usage with `get_quota` directly inside your agent's logic. If you are close to your limits, your agent can pause data-heavy tasks. This gives you programmatic control over your costs. You can set up your agent to report its own status, ensuring you never hit a hard block during a critical process.

Setup guide

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