How to Use the GoTab MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I initialize GoTab tools inside Google ADK?

Install google-adk and use McpToolset with your Vinkius HTTP endpoint. Pass the MCP Server tools directly to your LlmAgent to let Gemini access your restaurant's menu and order data.

Q: Can I restrict which GoTab tools my Google ADK agent can access?

Yes, you can pass a toolnames filter to the McpToolset constructor. This lets you expose read-only tools like getmenu while blocking destructive actions like updateitemstatus.

Q: Can I combine GoTab tools with BigQuery datasets?

Yes, your Google ADK agent can pull live structures using gettab and write custom SQL queries to join that data with historical sales tables in BigQuery.

Run your GoTab restaurant operations directly from Google ADK agents using long-context Gemini reasoning and BigQuery data.

Perplexity

Sync GoTab menus with Google ADK data pipelines

The `list_menus` and `list_items` tools feed your restaurant's live catalog directly into Gemini's massive context window. Your Google ADK agent parses thousands of dishes and categories instantly, matching menu structures against historical sales data you already store in BigQuery. By connecting this MCP Server to your Google Cloud setup, your agent runs deep menu engineering analysis. It cross-references `get_menu` structures with customer feedback to suggest high-margin layout changes.

Track kitchen performance using Google ADK agents

The `list_orders` and `get_order` tools let your enterprise agent monitor kitchen ticket times in real time. The agent pulls active order details, combines them with Google Cloud monitoring tools, and alerts floor managers if ticket times spike. Because the Google ADK handles long-context reasoning, your agent can analyze hours of order logs from `get_location` to identify bottlenecks in your food preparation line.

Automate item availability with this MCP Server

The `update_item_status` tool lets your agent update dish availability based on real-time ingredient levels. Your agent monitors incoming supply logs and immediately runs `get_item` to verify if a dish needs to be turned off. Using Google ADK, you can restrict tool access so the agent only runs `update_item_status` on specific categories. This ensures your automated inventory updates never interfere with your core beverage or main course listings.

Setup guide

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