How to Use the Gitpod MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I use Gitpod with Google ADK to manage secrets?

You can use createenvironmentvariable to inject necessary keys into your workspaces. Ensure your agent has the right permissions to handle these sensitive values.

Manage your Gitpod cloud workspaces natively within your Google ADK agent framework.

Gitpod MCP Server for Google ADK

Connect your agent to the Gitpod API via `McpToolset`. You can now execute `list_workspaces` to see exactly what is running across your organization. This setup allows your agent to handle environment shifts as easily as it handles BigQuery data. You get a unified interface for your entire development stack.

Dynamic environment orchestration

Use `start_workspace` and `stop_workspace` to manage compute resources based on real-time task requirements. Your agent decides when to spin up resources. Keep your development environment lean. By mapping these tools to your agent's decision loop, you avoid leaving idle instances running in the cloud.

Enterprise organization control

Update team permissions using `update_organization_member` directly from your agent logic. This keeps your administrative overhead low and your access levels precise. Query `get_organization_settings` to verify your current configuration. Your agent acts as the bridge between your project needs and your Gitpod organization rules.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Gitpod MCP in Google ADK

Pass the server details into the McpToolset constructor. Add this toolset to your LlmAgent, and the agent will automatically gain access to all 26 Gitpod tools.

Absolutely. You can use the agent to manage large-scale repository configurations across multiple organizations using `list_configurations`.

You can use `create_environment_variable` to inject necessary keys into your workspaces. Ensure your agent has the right permissions to handle these sensitive values.

The server only touches the workspace sessions and organization settings you explicitly request. Your agent operates within the scope of the token you provide.

Your agent can see workspace metadata, audit logs, and organization member lists. It cannot access your source code unless you explicitly use a tool to read repository files.
