Perplexity

Analyze massive federal files in Gemini's context

Legacy government documents are notoriously long. This MCP Server lets your Gemini agent use `get_package_content` to pull entire congressional hearings directly into its massive context window. You do not have to chunk the text or build complex RAG pipelines. The agent can read the raw text of a bill and immediately cross-reference it with your enterprise datasets. This makes it easy to find policy shifts without losing the broader context of the document.

Structure federal records for BigQuery pipelines

Your Google ADK agent can automate the process of building a legislative database. By running `search_govinfo`, the agent finds relevant bills and uses `get_package_summary` to extract clean metadata fields. This structured metadata can be piped directly into BigQuery. You can run SQL queries over years of federal registers without manually downloading a single PDF.

Discover GPO collections using an MCP Server

Federal document structures change over time. Your agent uses `list_collections` to discover what databases are currently active on GovInfo, then targets specific ones using `get_collection_details`. Once the target collection is locked, the agent runs `list_packages` to pull documents from specific dates. This targeted approach prevents your Gemini workflows from wasting API calls on irrelevant archives.

Setup guide

Set up GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) 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 GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) 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="GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs)_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Common questions about GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) MCP in Google ADK

Import the toolset class from the SDK and initialize it with your HTTP server parameters. Pass this toolset directly into your agent configuration to expose the tools to Gemini.

No. This server only connects to read-only GPO endpoints. Tools like `get_package_content` and `search_govinfo` are strictly for querying and retrieving existing federal records.

Gemini uses native tool call routing to select the best tool. If you ask for a summary, it calls `get_package_summary`; if you ask for a deep search, it routes the query to `search_govinfo`.

Yes. You can use the tool names filter in your Python code to only expose `search_govinfo` or `list_packages`, hiding the rest of the tools from the agent.

Your GPO document IDs and search parameters pass through a secure, isolated V8 sandbox. The connection is ephemeral, meaning no search history or document text is saved on our servers.
