Perplexity

Map workflows into Gemini context windows

Retrieving all workflow steps is handled by the `list_statuses` tool. Combining this with priority lists gives your agent the exact parameters needed to triage incoming bugs. It works natively with your Google Cloud pipeline to align issue tracking with external database states.

Run deep project audits using Google ADK and MCP

To map your workspace, the `list_projects` tool identifies all active project keys, names, and IDs. Your agent uses this list to catalog your entire workspace before drilling down into specific team backlogs. This method lets you cross-reference team structures with your BigQuery employee directory.

Find and analyze bug patterns with JQL

Querying your ticket database relies on the `search_issues` tool to execute flexible JQL strings. Gemini analyzes the returned keys and summaries to find recurring technical debt patterns. Deep root cause analysis is possible because the agent uses `get_issue` to pull full comment histories.

Setup guide

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

Instantiate the toolset using the HTTP server parameters pointing to your Vinkius gateway. Pass this toolset into your agent constructor to expose the Jira tools to Gemini.

Yes, you can use the optional tool name filter in the toolset configuration. This allows you to restrict the agent to read-only tools like issue retrieval.

Yes, the agent can pull massive issue lists and feed the entire payload into Gemini. You don't have to break your queries into tiny chunks.

The agent calls current user tools to retrieve the authenticated profile. This ensures the API token used by the ADK has correct access levels.

All project schemas, user lists, and ticket comments are processed through ephemeral V8 isolates. The connection uses HTTPS encryption, and your credentials never touch Google Cloud or Vinkius persistent storage.
