How to Use the HiBob MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I restrict which HiBob tools are available to my Google ADK agent?

Scale HR operations with Google ADK

Connect your Gemini-powered agents to HiBob to handle large-scale employee lookups. Use `search_employees` to query your entire directory and pull profiles into your Google Cloud data pipelines. Your agents maintain context across long-running conversations. This allows them to process complex HR queries by referencing historical data retrieved via `get_payroll_history`.

Direct interaction with HiBob tools

Your agent triggers `request_time_off` or `get_leave_balance` to manage team availability. It acts as a bridge between your internal Google Cloud infrastructure and your HR platform. By passing tool definitions to the LlmAgent, your setup gains the ability to execute actions on demand. You control exactly which functions the agent can run.

Efficient task orchestration

Automate the follow-up process for pending HR items. Your agent uses `list_open_tasks` to identify work and `complete_task` to update the status in real-time. This keeps your team focused on high-value work instead of manual tracking. Everything is logged, providing a clear audit trail for every action performed.

Setup guide

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