How to Use the Harness MCP in Google ADK
Run and monitor Harness deployments inside Google ADK using Gemini's long-context reasoning.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Harness MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Harness 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.
Analyze long-context Harness execution logs in Google ADK
Detailed step outputs flow directly into your active pipelines via `get_execution_status` over the active MCP link. Because Google ADK runs on Gemini, the agent can ingest massive multi-stage Harness logs using its million-token context window. This allows the Google ADK agent to pinpoint the exact line where a Harness build failed. By matching these logs with Harness pipeline definitions from `get_pipeline`, the Google ADK agent suggests immediate fixes. It reads the entire Harness YAML configuration and execution history in one pass. This eliminates the trial-and-error cycle of debugging complex Harness failures within Google ADK.
Correlate GCP infrastructure with Harness environments
Mapping your physical Google Cloud targets to logical pipelines is straightforward with the `list_environments` MCP tool. The Google ADK agent cross-references your active GKE clusters with your logical Harness targets. This ensures your Google ADK workloads deploy to the correct regional clusters. Using `list_connectors`, the Google ADK agent verifies that your Docker and Git integrations are active. If a Harness registry connector is broken, the Google ADK agent flags it before initiating a build. This prevents orphan container builds on Google Cloud.
Track deployment compliance across enterprise projects
A complete history of platform changes feeds directly into your enterprise agent through `get_audit_logs`. The Google ADK agent can feed these Harness logs into BigQuery to analyze deployment frequency and failure rates. This turns raw Harness events into structured operational metrics inside Google ADK. The Google ADK agent uses `list_projects` to scan your entire Harness organization for non-compliant configurations. It flags Harness projects that lack active audit trails or have misconfigured pipelines. This automated scanning keeps your enterprise Harness deployments aligned with Google Cloud security policies.
Set up Harness 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 Harness 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="Harness_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to Harness tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
