How to Use the Google Drive MCP in Google ADK

Q: How does Google ADK search my Google Drive content?

The listfiles tool queries your drive. Your agent processes the results to find specific files or folders based on your prompt.

Q: Can I export documents from Google Drive within Google ADK?

You call exportfile to convert your Google Docs or Sheets. The tool handles the conversion process and returns the requested format.

Q: How do I check file history in Google Drive with Google ADK?

You use listrevisions. This provides a timestamped log of changes for any file the agent is tracking.

Q: What happens to my Google Drive data during deletion?

Calling deletefile moves your document to the trash. It remains recoverable until you run emptytrash to clear the bin.

Connect Google Drive to your enterprise agents with Google ADK for deep integration across your cloud infrastructure.

Automated File Operations via Google ADK

Your agent executes `create_file` and `copy_file` to mirror your BigQuery data outputs into organized Drive folders. It maps your cloud workflow to physical files without leaving the agent context. Precision is key here. By calling `get_file_metadata` first, the agent confirms target file existence before making modifications.

Granular Permission Auditing

The agent inspects current access settings using `list_permissions` before applying any changes. It ensures your security posture remains intact when you use `create_permission` to share reports. This prevents accidental exposure of sensitive datasets. You define the access rules, and the agent enforces them.

Drive Quota and Metadata Management

Monitor your storage health by calling `get_drive_about`. The agent reports your current usage metrics, helping you decide when to trigger `empty_trash` for cleanup. It manages the file system state autonomously. You get a clear view of your cloud storage footprint without manual intervention.

Setup guide

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