How to Use the FCC Broadcaster MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I add the FCC Broadcaster MCP toolset to a Google ADK agent?

Initialize McpToolset with the server HTTP parameters pointing to the Vinkius endpoint. Pass that toolset object into the tools list when creating your LlmAgent.

Let Gemini agents analyze live radio and TV records inside Google ADK alongside your BigQuery datasets.

Perplexity

Feed TV broadcast data to Gemini long-context windows

Gemini can ingest massive amounts of text, and now it can ground that reasoning in live public records. The Google ADK agent calls `get_tv_station_details` to pull TV transmitter data, which the model instantly cross-references against your enterprise databases. This lets you run deep audits on hundreds of TV stations at once. The model handles the heavy analysis because the tool feeds structured data directly into the active context window.

Filter tools inside this specific MCP Server

You do not have to expose every tool to your enterprise agents if you only care about radio. Use the tool filter in Google ADK to expose only `get_fm_station_details` and keep agent execution focused. Restricting tools prevents your Gemini model from getting distracted by TV data during a dedicated radio market analysis. It saves token costs and speeds up agent decision times.

Connect your broadcast agent to Vertex AI

Deploying your Google ADK agent on Vertex AI lets you combine public media records with internal BigQuery tables. The agent uses the HTTP transport to query the FCC Broadcaster endpoints on demand. This setup allows you to automate regional media market reports. Your agent pulls the latest station details, merges them with your internal data, and writes the output directly to Cloud Storage.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about FCC Broadcaster MCP in Google ADK

Initialize `McpToolset` with the server HTTP parameters pointing to the Vinkius endpoint. Pass that toolset object into the `tools` list when creating your `LlmAgent`.

Absolutely, you can write an agent that retrieves FM details and joins them with BigQuery tables. The agent executes `get_fm_station_details` to get the live data, then runs SQL queries to match the records.

Yes, the SDK handles both transport types. For cloud-deployed Gemini agents, use the HTTP transport to connect directly to the managed Vinkius endpoint.

Yes, you can use the optional tool name filter in the toolset configuration. Simply restrict the exposed tools to `get_fm_station_details` so the agent never attempts TV searches.

Your call sign queries flow directly from Google Cloud to the public endpoint without being cached. The Vinkius infrastructure runs in an ephemeral sandbox, ensuring your search parameters vanish immediately after the MCP execution.
