How to Use the Hiro.fm MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I initialize Hiro.fm with Google ADK?

Install the google-adk package. Configure an McpToolset with your server URL and pass it to your LlmAgent under the tools parameter.

Q: Can Google ADK filter which Hiro.fm tools are exposed?

Yes. You can use the toolnames filter to restrict the agent to safe read-only tools like listshows and listaudio.

Q: How does Google ADK handle Hiro.fm listener tags?

The agent uses listtags to pull available categories. It can then apply those tags when setting up new users.

Connect your Google ADK enterprise agents to Hiro.fm to automate private podcast distribution and listener tagging.

Sync CRM data with Hiro.fm

Hiro.fm uses `create_contact` and `list_tags` to organize your listeners into specific segments. Your agent can read customer data from BigQuery and replicate those segments directly into your audio platform via the MCP server. Long-context Gemini models analyze massive lists of user profiles at once. The agent maps these profiles, applies the right tags, and sets up the listener accounts without breaking a sweat.

Manage shows via Google ADK

This MCP server exposes `get_show` and `list_shows` so your Gemini agent can audit your entire private podcast catalog. You get exact metadata about every active feed. Running this on Google Cloud means your agent can process vast amounts of internal training material. It grabs the files from Cloud Storage and pushes them to the platform using `add_audio`.

Automated feed provisioning

Hiro.fm controls who hears your content through the `grant_access` and `revoke_access` tools. Your agent triggers these endpoints based on subscription events in your database. Checking a specific user requires a quick call to `get_contact`. If their account lapsed, the agent removes them from the feed immediately to protect your premium audio.

Setup guide

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