How to Use the Glob Pattern Tester MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I configure Glob Pattern Tester with Google ADK?

Install the framework using pip install google-adk. Initialize McpToolset with the Vinkius HTTP URL and pass it to your LlmAgent tools list.

Q: Can I use Glob Pattern Tester to filter BigQuery tables in Google ADK?

The testglob tool matches file-like path strings, so you can use it to filter table names or URI patterns that follow path-like formats. This helps when organizing massive datasets.

Give your Google ADK agents the ability to filter massive BigQuery file exports using precise glob matching.

Perplexity

Filter Cloud Storage paths with `test_glob`

The `test_glob` tool evaluates file paths against standard git and npm glob patterns. When your agent processes millions of log files in Cloud Storage, it uses this tool to isolate the exact paths it needs. This means your Google ADK agent doesn't waste its 1M+ token context window on irrelevant files when using this MCP Server. It filters the noise out before reading the data.

Restrict exposed tools in Google ADK pipelines

The `test_glob` tool can be isolated by using the `tool_names` filter when configuring your agent. When setting up this MCP Server, you can use this filter to expose only what your agent needs. Your agent gets exactly what it needs to validate deploy filters. This keeps your Google Cloud workflows predictable and fast.

Parse complex file trees in enterprise tasks

The `test_glob` tool provides a deterministic way to check file paths inside your long-context reasoning tasks. Gemini models can reason over massive datasets, but they still need help with precise string matching. Instead of letting the model guess if a path matches a build exclude pattern, you get a reliable boolean. It bridges the gap between LLM reasoning and strict DevOps rules.

Setup guide

Set up Glob Pattern Tester 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 Glob Pattern Tester 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="Glob Pattern Tester_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Glob Pattern Tester tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Common questions about Glob Pattern Tester MCP in Google ADK

Install the framework using `pip install google-adk`. Initialize `McpToolset` with the Vinkius HTTP URL and pass it to your `LlmAgent` tools list.

The `test_glob` tool matches file-like path strings, so you can use it to filter table names or URI patterns that follow path-like formats. This helps when organizing massive datasets.

Yes, the server supports both Stdio and HTTP transports. For Google ADK, you will typically connect via the streamable HTTP parameters.

Writing regex for nested directories is painful and error-prone. The `test_glob` tool uses standard minimatch, which developers already use in their CI pipelines.

The MCP Server processes raw path strings and glob patterns inside an isolated V8 sandbox hosted by Vinkius. These inputs are never saved or used for model training.
