How to Use the itch.io MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I limit which itch.io tools are exposed to Google ADK?

Yes. You can pass a toolnames filter to the McpToolset configuration to only expose specific tools like getusergames while hiding others.

Feed itch.io game metadata directly into your Google ADK pipelines for deep analysis and long-context Gemini reasoning.

Analyze itch.io MCP Server Developer Catalog Trends

The `get_user_games` tool retrieves your developed, purchased, and collected games directly from itch.io. The tool provides game URLs, developer info, and pricing structures directly to your agent. Google ADK pipes this raw metadata into BigQuery for market analysis. Gemini models then run long-context reasoning over years of game releases to spot pricing trends and developer activity.

Verify API Integrity and User Identity

The `get_me` tool fetches your itch.io user profile, including your display name, username, and avatar URL. It serves as your primary connection test to ensure your API credentials work before executing heavy data operations. Your Google ADK workflow uses this identity check to confirm authentication before running automated scripts. This keeps your agent from failing mid-run due to expired credentials.

Extract Curated Game Collections

The `get_user_collections` and `get_collection_games` tools extract custom game lists and their nested titles using specific collection IDs. Your agent reads the titles, pricing, and developer details from these curated groups. This lets your Gemini models organize large sets of indie games for research or content creation. You bypass manual web scraping by feeding clean, structured JSON from the MCP server directly into your Google Cloud storage.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about itch.io MCP in Google ADK

Use the McpToolset class pointing to your Vinkius HTTP URL. Pass this toolset directly to your LlmAgent to expose the games and collections tools.

Yes. You can pass a tool_names filter to the McpToolset configuration to only expose specific tools like `get_user_games` while hiding others.

Gemini models natively support massive token limits. You can pull thousands of games using `get_collection_games` and analyze the entire dataset in a single prompt.

No. This MCP Server is read-only. It retrieves profile, collection, and game details, but cannot create or edit games.

Vinkius handles all authentication tokens inside isolated, zero-trust environments. Your credentials never touch Google's public servers, and only game metadata is processed.
