OTLP log streaming for Google ADK

Push your logs from Gemini-powered agents into Highlight using `ingest_otlp_logs`. It integrates with your cloud-native stack. This is for when your agents handle high-volume traffic. You get the logs you need without the overhead of custom instrumentation.

Monitor complex agent reasoning

Use `ingest_otlp_traces` to visualize how your Google ADK agent processes long-context prompts. Every step of the reasoning chain is captured. It gives you a clear look at where your agent might be getting stuck. You can see the full trace alongside your session replay data.

Handle raw logs from legacy systems

When your agent interacts with older infrastructure, use `ingest_raw_log` to capture the output. It acts as a bridge for non-standard message formats. Just pass the raw string to the tool. It's the fastest way to get visibility when OTLP isn't an option.

Setup guide

Set up Highlight (Session Replay & UX) 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 Highlight (Session Replay & UX) 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="Highlight (Session Replay & UX)_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Highlight (Session Replay & UX) tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
