Perplexity

Enterprise-scale research for Google ADK

Your agents can now traverse 40M+ items with ease. Use `search_by_collection` to isolate specific corporate or historical sets relevant to your enterprise data. This fits right into your existing Google Cloud infrastructure. Your agent handles the heavy lifting by pulling metadata into your processing pipeline.

Subject-based discovery

Stop scanning manually for topics. Use `search_by_subject` to find curated items across the entire archive index. It’s built for complex reasoning tasks. By feeding these results into your Google ADK agent, you gain immediate access to historical context for your analytics.

Language-specific asset sourcing

Global research requires precision. Use `search_by_language` to pull documents in specific tongues for your multilingual agent projects. This keeps your data sets clean and relevant. It’s the fastest way to aggregate foreign-language content without manual filtering.

Setup guide

Set up Internet Archive Search 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 Internet Archive Search 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="Internet Archive Search_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Internet Archive Search tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
