What is the Universal Air Quality Index (UAQI)?

The UAQI is Google's proprietary index that normalizes air quality measurements globally. It ranges from 0 to 100, where 100 is excellent and 0 is poor.

Can I check historical air quality for the past week?

Yes. The `get_air_quality_history` tool allows you to retrieve up to 720 hours (30 days) of historical data for any coordinate.

Are there specific advice for outdoor sports?

Yes. The health recommendations provide specific guidance for athletes and individuals performing intense physical activities outdoors based on the pollutant levels.

About Google Air Quality MCP Server

Equip your AI agent with hyper-local environmental intelligence through the Google Air Quality MCP server. This integration provides real-time access to accurate air quality indexes, detailed pollutant concentrations, and actionable health recommendations for specific coordinates. Powered by Google's massive environmental data layer, your agent can retrieve the Universal Air Quality Index (UAQI), identify dominant pollutants (PM2.5, NO2, etc.), and access up to 30 days of historical data. Whether you are building health-tracking tools, planning outdoor events, or researching urban pollution, your agent acts as a dedicated environmental consultant through natural conversation.

Google ADK natively supports Google Air Quality as an MCP tool provider — declare the Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 2 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.

What you can do

Real-time AQI Lookup — Get the current Universal Air Quality Index for any latitude/longitude.
Pollutant Breakdown — Identify dominant pollutants and their concentrations in specific areas.
Historical Auditing — Retrieve up to 720 hours of historical air quality data for trend analysis.
Health Advice — Access tailored recommendations for children, elderly, and sensitive groups.

The Google Air Quality MCP Server exposes 2 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
