How to Use the HotDocs MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I integrate HotDocs with Google ADK?

You instantiate the McpToolset with the server URL and include it in your LlmAgent configuration. This makes the entire suite of HotDocs tools available to your Gemini-powered agent.

Q: Can my Google ADK agent filter HotDocs work items?

Yes, the server provides listworkitems and listworkitemsbydate specifically for filtering. Your agent can query by date range to audit document history.

Q: How does the HotDocs MCP Server handle errors?

Each tool returns specific status codes. If a call like completeassembly fails, the agent receives an error message and can attempt a retry or alert you.

Connect Google ADK agents to HotDocs to generate legal documents from your cloud data.

Perplexity

Google ADK template discovery

Your agent queries the full library of legal templates using `list_template_packages`. It identifies the necessary package ID to start the automation process immediately. It then uses `list_template_versions` to confirm it is using the most recent configuration. This ensures your legal forms reflect current requirements.

Automated assembly via Google ADK

The agent initiates a new session with `create_work_item` and maps your existing data into the required XML format. It then pushes these values using `update_answers`. Once the data is set, it calls `complete_assembly` to generate the final file. This removes the need for manual form filling in your enterprise environment.

Audit and track with Google ADK

You can run `list_work_items_by_date` to generate reports on all assembly activities. The agent returns a clean list of items for your internal tracking systems. If you need to check specific details, `get_work_item` provides the status of any ongoing process. This keeps your records accurate and current.

Setup guide

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