How to Use the GoCardless MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I register the GoCardless MCP server toolset in Google ADK?

Use McpToolset with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint URL. Pass the toolset directly to your LlmAgent constructor to expose the financial tools to Gemini.

Q: Can Gemini models using Google ADK run GoCardless tools in parallel?

Yes. Gemini models can invoke multiple tools like listcustomers and listactivemandates in a single turn to compile comprehensive billing reports.

Q: How do we handle direct debit settlement delays in Google ADK?

Your agent can run scheduled checks using getpaymentstatus. It stores these states in your database, updating customer accounts only when the status transitions to completed.

Connect Gemini enterprise agents to the GoCardless MCP Server via Google ADK to manage bank payments automatically.

Connect Google ADK Agents to the GoCardless MCP Server

The `create_new_customer` and `list_active_mandates` tools allow your Google ADK agent to establish bank billing profiles. This lets enterprise agents handle the entire onboarding workflow autonomously without human intervention. When billing cycles hit, the agent calls `collect_payment` to pull invoice amounts. Because Gemini handles long-context histories, it can cross-reference database records with active mandates before initiating any bank transfer.

Track Bank Settlement Cycles and Historical Logs

The `get_payment_status` and `list_system_events` tools let your Gemini agent track bank clearing cycles and record webhook events. Direct debits settle over several business days, making constant tracking necessary. For deep auditing, the agent uses `list_payment_history` to retrieve the complete log of bank interactions. This gives your enterprise system a clear trail of events for reconciliation.

Monitor Creditors and Manage Active Subscriptions

The `list_account_creditors` and `get_customer_details` tools provide your enterprise agent with compliance and payout routing data. Enterprise billing setups often involve multiple payout accounts, and these tools map collections to the correct legal entities. To maintain subscription hygiene, the agent calls `list_recurring_payments` to review active bank plans. If a contract is terminated, the agent calls `stop_pending_payment` to prevent accidental overdraft fees.

Setup guide

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