How to Use the Freshteam MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I connect the Freshteam MCP Server to Google ADK?

Install the package with pip install google-adk and define your McpToolset with the Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass this toolset directly into your LlmAgent tools list to expose the HR tools.

Q: Can I limit which Freshteam tools Google ADK can access?

Yes, you can use the optional toolnames filter in your McpToolset configuration. This lets you restrict the agent to read-only tools like listjobpostings while hiding write operations.

Q: How does Google ADK combine Freshteam data with BigQuery?

The agent uses listemployees to fetch active staff data and writes it directly to your BigQuery datasets. This lets you run SQL queries on fresh HR data without manual CSV exports.

Connect Freshteam to Google ADK to run deep HR analytics and automate hiring pipelines with Gemini's million-token context.

Perplexity

Long-context candidate screening with Google ADK

The `get_applicant_details` tool extracts full resume data and interview notes directly from Freshteam into Gemini's massive context window. Google ADK lets your agent process thousands of pages of applicant history in a single turn without losing context. By combining `list_job_applicants` with your existing BigQuery tables, you can compare incoming talent against historical hiring trends. The Google ADK agent runs these heavy analyses natively within your Google Cloud infrastructure.

Automated org structure mapping

The `list_office_branches` tool on this MCP Server pulls your current physical locations from Freshteam to help coordinate regional hiring campaigns. Google ADK maps these locations directly to your cloud-hosted operational data. Agents use `list_job_roles` and `list_departments` to ensure new Freshteam requisitions map to valid corporate structures. This stops your Google ADK agent from creating orphaned postings that don't match your active budget lines.

Real-time staffing visibility

The `list_employees` tool on this MCP retrieves your active Freshteam staff directory to feed your resource planning models. Google ADK processes this list alongside Vertex AI to predict staffing shortages before they impact project deadlines. Using `list_time_off_requests` allows the Google ADK agent to build dynamic team calendars inside your enterprise dashboard. The agent pulls active Freshteam leave data to flag scheduling conflicts automatically.

Setup guide

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