How to Use the Firecrawl Alternative MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I limit which tools my enterprise agent can execute?

You can pass a toolnames filter to the McpToolset constructor. This restricts the agent to specific tools like scrapeurl while hiding crawl management tools.

Feed clean markdown from any URL directly into your Google ADK pipelines and BigQuery datasets using this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Extract clean markdown for Gemini's long context

The `scrape_url` tool converts any live web page into clean markdown, designed specifically to feed Gemini's massive context window. Your Google ADK agent can ingest entire sites without hitting API limits or choking on raw HTML boilerplate. By offloading the rendering to this MCP server, your enterprise pipelines stay fast. You get pure text data ready for storage in BigQuery or immediate analysis.

Discover site architecture for analysis

The `map_website` tool extracts the complete link structure of a target domain to help your agent plan its extraction strategy. Google ADK agents can use this map to identify key pages before committing resources to a deep crawl. This is a massive timesaver when you are building competitive intelligence pipelines. Instead of guessing URLs, your agent gets a clean list of endpoints to query.

Run asynchronous crawls on Google Cloud

The `crawl_url` tool kicks off asynchronous web crawls, letting your agent manage multi-page data collection in the background. Your agent can check progress with `get_crawl_status` and see active runs via `list_crawl_jobs`. If a crawl job is no longer needed, your agent can stop it instantly using `delete_crawl_job`. This keeps your Google Cloud compute costs down and prevents runaway processes.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Firecrawl Alternative MCP in Google ADK

Initialize the toolset using McpToolset pointing to our MCP server HTTP transport endpoint. Pass the toolset directly into your Google ADK agent's tool list for instant discovery.

Yes, the server handles rendering internally. Gemini can use `scrape_url` to pull clean markdown from JavaScript-heavy sites without needing complex browser automation code.

This setup removes the need to write custom BeautifulSoup parsers or manage headless browsers in your cloud functions. It delivers clean, LLM-ready markdown straight to your Google ADK agent.

You can pass a tool_names filter to the McpToolset constructor. This restricts the agent to specific tools like `scrape_url` while hiding crawl management tools.

All processed URLs, raw HTML, and crawl logs are handled in ephemeral MCP environments. We do not persist your scraped data or target URLs, keeping your enterprise pipeline secure.
