Get real-time freight rates in Google ADK

Your agent uses `request_rates` to pull current pricing for your LTL shipments. By referencing your `list_item_catalog`, it ensures that every quote request uses accurate freight classes and dimensions. After the agent receives quotes, it calls `list_freight_quotes` to aggregate the options. It then selects the carrier based on the metadata retrieved through `get_quote_details`.

Track freight status using Google ADK tools

Keep your dashboard updated by calling `get_shipment_details`. Your agent retrieves the latest tracking info for any shipment, allowing you to react to delays immediately. Use `list_shipments` to pull a summary of your entire logistics operation. Your agent organizes this data for your team, providing a clear view of where your goods are in transit.

Sync your address book with Google ADK

Your agent pulls accurate delivery locations using `list_address_book`. It avoids address errors by verifying every destination against your saved records before requesting rates. This keeps your logistics data clean. The agent ensures every quote request uses the correct origin and destination, preventing costly re-billing penalties later.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Freightview MCP in Google ADK

Data is transmitted over encrypted channels only. Your agent interacts with the MCP server, which acts as a secure proxy to your account, ensuring no raw data is exposed to third parties.

Yes. Use the toolset filter to limit the agent's visibility into your `list_connected_carriers` output. This keeps your agent focused on your preferred partners.

The tool returns an error code that your agent can handle. You should set up a retry loop or a fallback alert if the API call doesn't return a valid quote.

Your token is the only thing needed. The server manages your session, and your credentials stay stored in your secure environment settings, not in your agent code.

Your address book resides on the Freightview side. When your agent calls `list_address_book`, the server provides only the data needed for that specific task and discards it immediately after.
