How to Use the Hugging Face MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I list Hugging Face models using the Google ADK?

Call the listmodels tool within your agent toolset. You can specify an author or search term to return only the repositories you care about.

Q: Can Google ADK agents manage Hugging Face collections?

Absolutely. Use listcollections to retrieve the latest groupings, then use getcollection to pull the specific details for any collection slug.

Q: How do I verify my Hugging Face identity in the Google ADK?

Call getuser to return your account details. This confirms the MCP connection is active and authenticated with your provider credentials.

Q: Does this MCP Server support file inspection for Google ADK?

Perplexity

Explore datasets for Google ADK agents

Use `list_datasets` to find training data that fits your specific needs. Once identified, use `list_dataset_files` to look at the underlying schema before ingestion. Your agents can now audit data sources automatically. This prevents runtime errors caused by incompatible file formats or missing columns in your datasets.

Evaluate Spaces from the Google ADK

Query available demo environments with `list_spaces`. When you find a relevant one, call `get_space` to verify its SDK type and author details. This helps your agents decide if a remote endpoint is suitable for testing. It turns your agent into an automated scout for new machine learning capabilities.

Track model lifecycle in Google ADK

Use `list_models` to stay updated on new releases from your favorite authors. Review specific repository metadata using `get_model` to check for recent updates. Your agents stay informed about the latest developments without manual intervention. It makes maintaining your pipeline significantly easier to manage over time.

Setup guide

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