Production-ready features like session management, evaluation, and deployment come built-in — not bolted on

Seamless integration with Google Cloud services means you can combine HERE Mobility tools with BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Functions

HERE Mobility + Google ADK Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Google ADK combined with the HERE Mobility MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Enterprise data agents: ADK agents query HERE Mobility and cross-reference results with internal databases for comprehensive analysis

Multi-modal workflows: combine HERE Mobility tool responses with Gemini's vision and language capabilities in a single agent

Automated compliance checks: schedule ADK agents to query HERE Mobility regularly and flag policy violations or configuration drift

Internal tool platforms: build self-service agent platforms where teams connect their own MCP servers including HERE Mobility

HERE Mobility MCP Tools for Google ADK (8)

These 8 tools become available when you connect HERE Mobility to Google ADK via MCP:

discover_trips

Returns trip details including departure/arrival times, duration, number of transfers, and transport modes. Use origin and destination in lat,lng format. Optionally specify departure or arrival time in ISO 8601 format. Best for planning multimodal journeys. Discover public transit trips between origin and destination using HERE Transit API

get_nearby_stations

More precise than get_stations with customizable radius. Returns station IDs, names, distances, coordinates, and available lines. Use this for comprehensive station discovery in an area. Find all transit stations within a specific radius of coordinates

get_route_details

Requires the trip ID from a discover_trips result plus original origin/destination and departure time. Use this to review full route before traveling. Get detailed route information for a specific transit trip

get_schedule

Useful for checking when the next bus, train, or subway arrives. Requires station ID from get_stations result. Optionally filter by direction (e.g., "northbound", "downtown"). Get departure/arrival schedule for a specific transit station

get_station_details

Requires station ID from station search results. Use this to review station facilities before planning trips. Get detailed information about a specific transit station

get_stations

Returns station IDs, names, coordinates, and available transport lines. Use this to find stations before planning trips. Find transit stations near a GPS coordinate

get_stations_by_name

g., "Central Station", "Times Square"). Returns matching stations with IDs, names, coordinates, and available transport lines. Use this when you know the station name but not exact coordinates. Find transit stations by name

search_multimodal_trips

Modes can include: transit (bus/train/subway/tram/ferry), walk, bicycle, scooter, taxi. Returns multimodal route options with time breakdown per mode. Use this when user wants to combine walking or cycling with public transit for optimal journey. Search trips combining multiple transport modes (transit, walk, bike, scooter)

HERE Mobility + Google ADK FAQ

Common questions about integrating HERE Mobility MCP Server with Google ADK.

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
