How to Use the iFax MCP in Google ADK

Q: Does the Google ADK support filtering tools from iFax?

Yes. You can use the toolnames filter when initializing the McpToolset to restrict the agent to specific functions like sendfax or getfaxstatus.

Q: Can I use iFax data in BigQuery after fetching it with Google ADK?

You can. Once your agent uses listfaxes to get the metadata, it can format that information for ingestion into your BigQuery tables.

Connect iFax to your Google ADK infrastructure to manage fax workflows alongside your BigQuery data assets.

Perplexity

Google ADK-powered fax transmission

Map your existing data workflows to `send_fax` for direct document delivery. The Google ADK agent prepares the JSON payload and pushes it to the server instantly. This architecture keeps your faxing logic inside your existing cloud environment. It eliminates the overhead of managing hardware while maintaining strict control over document flow.

Manage fax status via Google ADK

Query `get_fax_status` to verify delivery in your Google ADK agent's logic. If a document is pending, the agent holds the state until confirmation arrives. Use `cancel_fax` if your agent logic detects an error before the document exits the queue. This prevents unnecessary transmission attempts.

Retrieve and store faxes with Google ADK

Use `list_faxes` to audit your transmission logs directly within your agent. It pulls the necessary metadata so your agent can update your databases. Execute `download_fax` to pull received documents into your local storage. This allows your agent to process incoming files alongside your cloud datasets.

Setup guide

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