How to Use the FatSecret Platform MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I restrict which FatSecret Platform tools my Google ADK agent can access?

Yes. Use the toolnames filter in the Google ADK configuration to only expose specific tools like getfooddetails while hiding recipe search tools on this MCP server.

Q: Can I join FatSecret Platform data with BigQuery tables using Google ADK?

Yes. Your agent can call searchfoods to fetch nutritional profiles and immediately write those structured records into your BigQuery tables.

Q: How do I configure the transport layer for this MCP integration?

Use McpToolset with the Vinkius HTTP URL. The ADK handles the underlying HTTP requests, exposing the nutrition tools directly to your Gemini agent.

Feed verified nutrition data from the FatSecret Platform into your Google ADK pipelines and BigQuery datasets.

Perplexity

Analyze thousands of recipes using Google ADK.

The `search_recipes` tool lets your Gemini-powered agent scan the FatSecret database and pull raw cooking structures. Because Gemini handles massive token contexts, you can feed dozens of full recipe payloads from `get_recipe_details` into a single prompt. This allows your Google ADK agent to find patterns across hundreds of ingredients at once. The agent handles the raw JSON payload natively, saving you from writing custom cleaning scripts.

Connect BigQuery logs to this MCP Server.

The `search_foods` tool connects your internal enterprise data warehouse directly to the live FatSecret database. Your Google ADK agent uses this MCP Server to match unstructured food logs from BigQuery to exact nutritional equivalents. This bridge turns messy, user-entered text into structured, verified nutrition profiles. You get clean data without manual intervention or building complex translation tables.

Run enterprise inventory checks via Google ADK.

The `get_food_by_barcode` tool retrieves structured nutrition facts using standard UPC numbers. Your agent can read barcode lists from Google Cloud Storage and look up their corresponding profiles in real time. This keeps your inventory systems accurate. By using the Google ADK toolset configuration, you can restrict your agent's access to only this barcode tool if you want to save API quota.

Setup guide

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