Perplexity

Sync media with Google ADK

Integrate your local storage with your broader Google Cloud data strategy. Your agent uses `list_assets` to pull metadata and pipe it into your existing analysis workflows. This setup bridges the gap between your local hardware and your cloud-native infrastructure. You get the control of self-hosting with the reach of your existing agents.

Tag and organize media automatically

Your agent can build complex organizational structures using `create_tag` and `create_album`. It reads file attributes and moves assets into the correct buckets. This keeps your library clean as your collection grows. You define the sorting criteria, and the agent processes your Immich (Google Photos Alternative) library in the background.

Handle server administration via agents

Manage your instance version and status using `get_server_info`. Your agent monitors your Immich (Google Photos Alternative) health and reports back to your dashboard. It flags issues before they become outages. You keep your self-hosted environment stable without checking logs manually every day.

Setup guide

Set up Immich (Google Photos Alternative) 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 Immich (Google Photos Alternative) 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="Immich (Google Photos Alternative)_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Immich (Google Photos Alternative) tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
