How to Use the GovCon API MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I filter the GovCon API tools available to my Google ADK agent?

Yes. You can use the toolnames filter when initializing your McpToolset. This limits your agent to only the specific functions you want it to use.

Connect GovCon API directly to your Google ADK agent and process complex procurement data within your existing cloud infrastructure.

Perplexity

Native Google ADK toolset integration

Hook the server into your agent using `McpToolset`. It bridges the GovCon API directly into your Google Cloud environment. Your agent gains the ability to query procurement data without leaving its native execution context.

Agency listing for Google ADK workflows

Use `list_government_agencies` to map out the procurement landscape for your project. It pulls the registry list into your agent's current state. This is the fastest way to verify which agencies are active. Your agent can then filter these results against your existing BigQuery data.

High-volume contract searches via Google ADK

Run `search_government_contracts` to find relevant bids across the government sector. The tool returns results in a format your Gemini-backed agent can parse immediately. It handles the heavy lifting of parsing search results. You get clean data ready for ingestion into your cloud pipelines.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about GovCon API MCP in Google ADK

Yes. You can use the tool_names filter when initializing your `McpToolset`. This limits your agent to only the specific functions you want it to use.

The server supports both Stdio and HTTP transports. You choose the one that fits your deployment architecture best.

The agent will raise standard Python exceptions if a tool call fails. You should wrap your calls in try-except blocks to maintain agent stability.

Absolutely. You can fetch large procurement details and feed them into the agent's context. The Gemini models handle the volume easily.

Your queries stay between your agent and the server. Vinkius manages the endpoint, but we don't log or inspect your sensitive procurement search strings.
