How to Use the Joomla (Open-Source CMS) MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I set up the Google ADK with this Joomla (Open-Source CMS) MCP server?

You'll use the McpToolset class, initializing it with StreamableHttpServerParameters that point to your Vinkius URL. Then, pass the toolset to your LlmAgent in the tools list. The ADK handles the rest.

Q: Does this MCP toolset support filtering, like finding only published articles?

Yes, it does. The listsitearticles tool, for instance, accepts query parameters passed on from the agent. You can instruct your agent to filter for a specific state, like filterstate=1 for published articles.

Use Google ADK to connect Gemini agents to your Joomla site and act on insights from your Google Cloud data.

Create Articles from BigQuery Insights

Connect your Gemini agent to both Joomla and your data in Google Cloud. An agent can analyze sales trends in a BigQuery table, formulate a content strategy, and then execute it by creating new posts on your site with `create_cms_article`. Gemini's 1M-token context window is what makes this work so well. The agent can hold the BigQuery results, a content plan, and the tool definitions in its context simultaneously. It can carry out a complex task without needing to be reminded of the original goal.

Analyze Your Entire Joomla Site at Once

Your agent can ingest the full output of `list_site_articles` and `list_system_tags` in a single prompt. You don't have to deal with pagination or chunking data for a model with a small context window. Just give it the whole list. This lets the agent see the big picture of your content inventory. It can spot inconsistent tagging across hundreds of articles or find content that needs an update via `patch_cms_article`. It turns site-wide analysis from a chore into a single query.

Manage Joomla with your Google ADK MCP Server

This isn't just about articles. Your agent can get a full user list with `list_platform_users` and cross-reference it with IAM roles in Google Cloud. Or it could check for banners using `list_active_banners` and compare them to a campaign schedule in a Google Sheet. Because the Google ADK is designed for the GCP ecosystem, you can build workflows that are deeply tied to your existing infrastructure. This MCP server acts as the bridge, connecting your Joomla instance to the rest of your cloud services.

Setup guide

Set up Joomla (Open-Source CMS) 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 Joomla (Open-Source CMS) 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="Joomla (Open-Source CMS)_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Joomla (Open-Source CMS) tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Common questions about Joomla (Open-Source CMS) MCP in Google ADK

You'll use the `McpToolset` class, initializing it with `StreamableHttpServerParameters` that point to your Vinkius URL. Then, pass the toolset to your `LlmAgent` in the `tools` list. The ADK handles the rest.

Yes. The Google ADK is designed for this. You can equip an agent with both the Joomla MCP toolset and a BigQuery toolset to build workflows that read from one and write to the other.

The main advantages are the native integration with Google Cloud services and the ability to use Gemini's long-context models. This lets you perform large-scale analysis and create workflows that combine Joomla data with data from sources like BigQuery.

Yes, it does. The `list_site_articles` tool, for instance, accepts query parameters passed on from the agent. You can instruct your agent to filter for a specific state, like `filter[state]=1` for published articles.

The server only processes the data needed for a specific tool call, like article text and metadata for `create_cms_article` or user details for `list_platform_users`. Vinkius uses zero-trust, ephemeral sandboxes, meaning no data from your Joomla site is ever logged or stored on the server.
