How to Use the Image Router MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I add the Image Router to my Google ADK agent?

Install the library, then instantiate McpToolset using your Vinkius HTTP endpoint. Pass this toolset directly into your LlmAgent constructor to expose all eleven image routing tools to Gemini via MCP.

Q: Can I restrict which tools the Image Router MCP Server exposes to Gemini?

Yes, you can use the optional toolnames filter in the toolset configuration. This lets you limit the agent to specific tools like generateimage or upscaleimage while hiding administrative functions.

Q: How does the Image Router handle high-resolution upscaling in Google ADK?

The Google ADK agent invokes the upscaleimage tool, sending the target image ID to the routed upscaling engine. It then monitors the progress using getgenerationstatus until the high-res file is ready.

Connect Google ADK to the Image Router MCP Server to instantly route prompts to the best image engine.

Enterprise image dispatch for Google ADK

Stop writing complex routing scripts in Gemini. This MCP toolset lets your Google ADK agent query `list_models` and `list_models_by_category` to match incoming prompts with the perfect image generator. When a Google ADK agent receives a prompt, it runs `list_styles` to find the exact artistic match. It then triggers `generate_image` or `generate_image_advanced` to create the asset, saving you from manual model configuration.

Long-context asset modification

Gemini's massive context window lets your Google ADK agent track complex design histories. Use `edit_image` and `generate_variation` to modify existing assets based on feedback stored in your session history. If you need to scale up a draft for a presentation, the Google ADK agent calls `upscale_image` to deliver high-resolution assets. This means your agent can manage an entire creative pipeline from a single conversation thread.

Reliable status tracking and health checks

Heavy image generation tasks shouldn't hang your Google ADK agent execution. By using `get_generation_status`, your agent polls the progress of your assets in the background. Before initiating a job, the Google ADK agent runs `check_imagerouter_status` to verify connection health with this MCP Server. It can also fetch specific details using `get_model` to ensure the selected generator supports the requested dimensions and parameters.

Setup guide

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