How to Use the Guidebook MCP in Google ADK
Bridge your Google Cloud data to your mobile event apps using the Guidebook MCP Server and Google ADK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Guidebook MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Guidebook 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.
Sync schedules using Google ADK
Move your event schedule from BigQuery directly to your mobile app. Your agent uses `list_schedules` to find the target event and `list_sessions` to pull the latest session data. This creates a direct path from your warehouse to the attendee's phone. Your agent handles the transformation logic in the middle.
Update venue data with Google ADK
Keep your location maps accurate as venues change. Your agent uses `list_locations` to map out all rooms and areas associated with your guide. This automates the tedious work of updating floor plans. Your agent pushes these updates whenever your internal venue database changes.
Check Guidebook health with Google ADK
Maintain uptime for your event app integrations. Your agent calls `get_rate_limit` to monitor API health before triggering large batch jobs. This keeps your pipeline running smoothly even under load. Your agent flags any issues before they affect the end user.
