How to Use the Healthchecks.io MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I integrate Healthchecks.io with my Google ADK agent?

Instantiate the McpToolset with your Vinkius server URL. Pass that toolset to your LlmAgent constructor. The agent discovers all the Healthchecks.io tools automatically.

Q: Is it possible to list all my configured notification channels?

Yes, the listintegrations tool provides a list of all configured channels in your Healthchecks.io project. Your agent can use this to know where alerts are being sent.

Give your Google ADK agent full control over your Healthchecks.io monitoring. Finally, cron job visibility inside your GCP ecosystem.

Manage Checks Programmatically

Connect your Gemini-powered agent directly to your cron job monitoring. The agent can use `create_check` to provision a monitor for a new Cloud Run job, or `delete_check` to clean up after a temporary task. You can automate maintenance tasks without manual intervention. Your agent can `pause_check` before a planned database migration and then `resume_check` once it's complete, ensuring your dashboards stay green.

Diagnose Job Failures on GCP

When a background task fails, your Google ADK agent can immediately start investigating. It uses `list_pings` to get the heartbeat history and `list_flips` to pinpoint the exact moment the service went down. This context is crucial for Gemini's long-context reasoning. The agent can correlate the output from `get_ping_body` with logs from Google Cloud's operations suite to find the root cause, all within a single session.

Build Dashboards with your ADK Agent

Your agent can become a data source for your internal tools. It can call `list_checks` to get a full inventory of monitored jobs and `list_badges` to grab the SVG URLs for status dashboards. This isn't just for viewing. The agent can check `get_status` to ensure the monitoring service is healthy, then pull data from this MCP server and push it into a BigQuery table for long-term reliability analysis.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Healthchecks.io MCP in Google ADK

Instantiate the `McpToolset` with your Vinkius server URL. Pass that toolset to your `LlmAgent` constructor. The agent discovers all the Healthchecks.io tools automatically.

Absolutely. The agent can iterate through a list of services, use `list_checks` with tags to find the right monitors, and then call `get_check` on each one to build a real-time health report.

It's the native integration. Your agent can pull check data from Healthchecks.io with `list_pings` and immediately correlate it with logs and metrics from your Google Cloud services.

Yes, the `list_integrations` tool provides a list of all configured channels in your Healthchecks.io project. Your agent can use this to know where alerts are being sent.

The MCP server only processes Healthchecks.io metadata like check names, schedules, and status flips. The connection is secured by your Vinkius token, and all processing happens in a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox that is destroyed after each request. Your data isn't logged or retained.
