How to Use the ISO New England MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can Google ADK agents track power imports using ISO New England tools?

Yes, your agent calls getactualinterchange to fetch net electricity imports and exports. This lets your Google ADK system monitor power flows between the region and external grids like NYISO.

Q: How does the agent handle high-frequency pricing updates?

The agent calls getlmp to get 5-minute price updates. Because Gemini has a large context window, you can feed hours of these price points directly into the prompt for trend analysis.

Feed ISO New England grid data directly into your Google ADK pipelines to analyze energy markets alongside BigQuery datasets.

Query real-time grid load with Google ADK

`get_system_load` pulls the current megawatt usage across the grid directly into your Gemini context. Your Google ADK agent uses this real-time load data to trigger automated analysis pipelines inside Google Cloud. By combining this with `get_hourly_load`, your agent can compare current demand against historical consumption patterns. This lets your Gemini model run deep reasoning tasks on grid stress without leaving your enterprise cloud environment.

Automate market analysis with this MCP Server

`get_lmp` delivers 5-minute locational marginal prices directly to your enterprise agent. This MCP Server lets your Google ADK tools monitor price volatility across specific nodes and export those metrics straight to BigQuery. You can also call `get_day_ahead_lmp` to let your agent spot pricing trends. It gives your Gemini models the precise financial data needed to predict energy market movements.

Track grid resilience and fuel sources

`get_fuel_mix` retrieves the real-time breakdown of generation sources powering the regional grid. Your Google ADK agent parses this mix to calculate carbon intensity and fuel dependency during peak hours. The agent uses `get_reserve` to check the available operating reserve capacity. This gives your Google Cloud pipelines the necessary telemetry to audit grid resilience during unexpected generation outages.

Setup guide

Set up ISO New England 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 ISO New England 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="ISO New England_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to ISO New England tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Common questions about ISO New England MCP in Google ADK

You initialize the toolset using the streamable HTTP server parameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Then, pass this toolset directly to your LlmAgent constructor so Gemini can access the grid tools.

Yes, your agent calls `get_actual_interchange` to fetch net electricity imports and exports. This lets your Google ADK system monitor power flows between the region and external grids like NYISO.

You can restrict exposure by passing a filtered list of tool names to your McpToolset. This prevents the Google ADK agent from calling tools like `get_regulation` if you only want it to read pricing.

The agent calls `get_lmp` to get 5-minute price updates. Because Gemini has a large context window, you can feed hours of these price points directly into the prompt for trend analysis.

All communications between Google Cloud and the Vinkius gateway are encrypted using TLS 1.3. Your queries for fuel mix and market prices run inside ephemeral sandboxes that dissolve immediately after execution.
