How to Use the GovInfo MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I limit which GovInfo tools my Google ADK agent can use?

Yes. Use the toolnames parameter in your McpToolset configuration to restrict the agent to specific tools like searchdocuments or getpublished.

Q: Can I combine GovInfo tools with my Google ADK BigQuery data?

Yes. Your agent can retrieve federal regulations using getgranulesummary and compare them against your internal relational data stored in BigQuery.

Give your Google ADK agents direct access to official US Government publications with 1M+ token context windows.

Perplexity

Long-context regulatory analysis with Google ADK

Gemini models can hold massive amounts of text, making them perfect for digesting entire congressional packages. This MCP Server exposes `get_package_summary` and `search_documents` so your enterprise agents can pull massive government filings directly into their context. You can write the retrieved text directly to BigQuery for long-term storage or run deep reasoning over thousands of pages of legislative history in a single turn.

Targeted collection filtering

Avoid wasting resources by restricting your search to specific federal agencies or dates. Your Google ADK agent uses `list_collections` to identify the correct archive via this MCP Server, then uses `get_collection` to fetch only the relevant packages. The Google ADK toolset allows you to apply a tool_names filter, ensuring your agent only calls the specific endpoints you authorize for that step of the pipeline.

Automated daily publication monitoring

Keep your enterprise databases updated with the latest federal rules as they publish. By using `get_published` in your Google ADK workflow, your agent can check for new documents released on a specific date and flag them for review. The agent can then use `get_granule_summary` to extract key policy changes and trigger downstream alerts in your Google Cloud infrastructure.

Setup guide

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