Perplexity

Immediate local air assessment

The `get_nearest_city_air_quality` tool resolves the requester's IP address to pull the closest station's weather and pollution metrics. Your Gemini agent parses this payload instantly, feeding the live values directly into its long-context reasoning window. This setup is perfect for enterprise applications that map regional climate trends. Because Google ADK connects to your cloud infrastructure, you can pipe these real-time metrics straight into BigQuery datasets for historical analysis.

Validate regional coverage via the IQAir MCP Server

The `list_supported_countries` tool retrieves the complete list of nations currently monitored by the platform. Your agent combines this with `list_supported_states` and `list_supported_cities` to construct a clean, verified hierarchy of target locations. This prevents execution errors when analyzing global locations. By filtering inputs through these validation tools, your agent avoids sending invalid queries to the external API, keeping your cloud bills predictable.

Direct target polling and status verification

The `get_city_air_quality` tool pulls current air quality index (AQI) values and weather details for a specific city. Before triggering this query, your agent runs `check_api_status` to verify that the external data source is fully operational. This proactive check keeps your automated workflows from breaking down during external outages. Google ADK manages these MCP Server tool definitions cleanly, letting your enterprise agents act on verified environmental data with high reliability.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about IQAir MCP in Google ADK

Instantiate the MCP Server using the streamable HTTP parameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this object to your agent's tool list to expose the weather and pollution tools to Gemini.

Yes. This MCP Server allows you to use the optional tool name filter during initialization to restrict your agent's access to specific endpoints like the nearest city tool.

Gemini reads the raw JSON payloads returned by the tools, utilizing its large context window to compare pollution levels across multiple cities or states over time.

Run the `check_api_status` tool. This lightweight call returns the current operational status without consuming your main data search quotas.

This server handles geographic coordinates, IP addresses, and localized environmental metrics. Vinkius runs this MCP Server in a sandboxed V8 isolate, meaning your user location coordinates are never logged or stored on any permanent server.
