How to Use the HUD Fair Market Rents MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I connect my Gemini agent to the HUD Fair Market Rents server using the Google ADK?

Instantiate the McpToolset with your Vinkius server URL and pass it into your LlmAgent constructor. The ADK handles the rest, making the HUD data tools available to your agent.

Q: Can I use this HUD Fair Market Rents data in BigQuery with a Google ADK agent?

Yes, that's a primary use case. Your agent can call getstatefmrdata, receive the JSON data, and then use other tools to format and insert it into a BigQuery table for analysis. The MCP server provides the data; your agent acts on it.

Connect Gemini agents to official HUD rent data directly within your Google Cloud environment using the Google ADK.

Integrate HUD Data into Google Cloud

This server gives your Gemini agent a toolset for fetching HUD data. It’s designed for the Google Cloud ecosystem. Your agent can pull state-wide rent data with `get_state_fmr_data` and you can easily pipe that output into a BigQuery table for large-scale analysis. Forget building and maintaining your own data pipelines. Just connect your agent to this MCP Server. It handles the connection to HUD, you handle the analysis in your own GCP project.

Equip Gemini with Real Estate Tools

The `McpToolset` class makes it simple to add these housing data tools to your agent. Your Gemini agent can now reason about housing policy, using `get_il_data` to check income brackets or `get_mtsp_il_data` to analyze subsidy projects. The long-context window of Gemini models means your agent can hold complex multi-step plans, like finding all metro areas with `list_metro_areas`, then checking FMRs for each one. This brings a new level of analytical depth to your agents.

Filter Tools for Focused Agents

You don't have to expose all eight tools to every agent. When you initialize the `McpToolset`, you can pass an optional `tool_names` filter. This lets you create specialized agents that only perform specific tasks. For example, create a 'compliance' agent that can only access `get_fmr_data` and a 'research' agent that can only access `list_states` and `list_counties`. It's a straightforward way to enforce separation of duties within your agent architecture.

Setup guide

Set up HUD Fair Market Rents 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 HUD Fair Market Rents 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="HUD Fair Market Rents_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to HUD Fair Market Rents tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Vinkius manages the MCP Server infrastructure. You connect to it from your agent running on Google Cloud. This separates the data access from your application logic, giving you a stable, managed endpoint for HUD data.

Yes. The server has distinct tools for different geographies. Use `get_fmr_data` with a county ID for specific rent limits, and use `list_metro_areas` to get a list of all metropolitan areas for broader analysis.

Requests for HUD Fair Market Rents or Income Limits are proxied through Vinkius's secure, isolated infrastructure to the official HUD APIs. Your GCP project credentials and data never leave your environment. The server only sees the specific data request you send.
