How to Use the Granola MCP in Google ADK
Feed long-context Gemini models with meeting data using Google ADK and Granola.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Granola MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Granola to Google ADK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Feed 1M-token Gemini models via Google ADK
The `get_transcript` tool extracts complete, speaker-labeled meeting records directly into your Gemini long-context window. Because Google ADK supports massive token limits, your agent can ingest hours of raw conversation to find subtle technical requirements. Combining this transcript data with your existing BigQuery tables lets you cross-reference meeting commitments against actual project deliverables. Your agent runs these complex analytical workflows without running out of memory.
Run enterprise-grade search across your MCP Server
The `search_documents` tool executes full-text search queries across your entire meeting database. Your Google ADK agent uses this tool to locate specific decisions before writing updates back to your Vertex AI pipelines. To keep your agent focused, you can use the tool_names filter in the ADK setup to expose only this search capability. This prevents the model from wasting compute on tools like `list_folders` when it only needs to find specific text.
Map meeting participants to cloud infrastructure
The `get_participants` tool retrieves the list of people present in any recorded meeting. Your agent uses this identity data to map action items to specific team members in your cloud directory. By chaining this with `get_action_items`, you automate the assignment of tasks based on who was actually in the room. The entire process runs through secure HTTP transport endpoints managed by Vinkius.
Set up Granola MCP in Google ADK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
google-adkpackage (pip install google-adk) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install Google ADK
Run
pip install google-adkto install the Agent Development Kit. MCP support is included via theMcpToolsetclass. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
McpToolset.from_server()withSseServerParamspointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Create an LlmAgent
Pass the returned
mcp_toolslist directly toLlmAgent(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 Granola tools in your ADK agent.
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="Granola_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to Granola tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
