How to Use the Guidebook MCP in Google ADK

Q: Does the Google ADK support filtering Guidebook tools?

Yes, you can use a toolnames filter to restrict which operations your agent can perform. This is useful for limiting access to read-only functions like listevents.

Q: Can the Guidebook MCP Server work with Gemini's long-context features?

Absolutely. You can feed the entire output of listguides or listattendees into your agent’s context window. Gemini will then reason over the full dataset.

Connect Google ADK agents to your event data for automated scheduling and updates.

Google ADK event management

Directly execute `list_guides` to find the right event container for your data. Your agent parses the output to determine which guide needs updates, keeping your workflow focused on the active event. Once the guide is selected, you can use `get_guide` to inspect current settings. It gives your agent the context needed to make informed changes to schedules or locations.

Map locations with Google ADK

Run `list_locations` to sync your floor plans with your current event schedule. Your agent can correlate room IDs with session data, ensuring attendees see the correct venue information. This data flow keeps your maps accurate as the event evolves. It’s a reliable way to ensure your mobile app reflects the latest room assignments.

Production data access

The MCP Server allows your agent to fetch session details using `list_events`. Your agent can then compare this against your BigQuery tables to identify discrepancies in real-time. It creates a tight loop between your source of truth and the mobile app. You get consistent data across your entire event infrastructure.

Setup guide

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