Sync Inform Direct data with Google ADK

Your agent calls `list_companies` to pull your entire portfolio into Gemini's context window. This allows the model to reason across your entire client base at once. When you need specific details, `get_company` provides the exact data points required. It integrates directly into your agent's existing toolset through the McpToolset.

Handle filings and director updates

Use `list_directors` and `list_shareholders` to track changes in corporate structure. Your agent updates your records as soon as the API reports a change. `list_filings` gives your agent visibility into your compliance timeline. It identifies which companies need attention before the next filing date arrives.

Perform safe record operations

You call `add_company` to register new entities within your management workflow. It adds the company to your Inform Direct account without manual portal entry. `remove_company` lets you prune your list of managed entities. It only affects your local view, keeping your Google ADK agent focused on active accounts.

Setup guide

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