How to Use the IBM Quantum MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can Google ADK manage complex quantum execution queues on IBM Quantum?

Yes. The agent uses listjobs to monitor your active queue and calls getjobdetails to check status.

Q: How does the IBM Quantum server handle circuit errors in Google ADK?

When a job fails, getjobdetails returns the specific error code from the Qiskit runtime. The Google ADK agent parses this error, adjusts the circuit parameters, and calls submitjob again.

Q: Can I restrict which quantum tools my Google ADK agent can access?

Yes, you can use the toolnames filter in the McpToolset configuration to restrict access. For instance, you can expose only getjobresult and listjobs if you want a read-only monitoring agent.

Discover IBM Quantum processors via Google ADK

`list_backends` provides your Google ADK agent with a direct list of active IBM QPUs and simulators via this MCP interface. This prevents execution failures by matching the exact physical layout of the target IBM machine with Gemini's long-context reasoning.

Submit quantum circuits using Gemini reasoning

`submit_job` sends your circuit payloads directly to IBM Quantum backends through this MCP Server. If Gemini detects that an IBM job is queued behind hundreds of other tasks, it uses `cancel_job` to pull the execution.

Analyze quantum execution results inside Google ADK

`get_job_result` retrieves the final IBM execution data, including shot counts and state measurements, directly into your Google ADK runtime. By calling `list_jobs` and `list_providers`, your Gemini agent tracks historical runs across different IBM allocation hubs.

Setup guide

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