How to Use the KnowFirst MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can Gemini search specific KnowFirst data sources via Google ADK?

Yes. The agent uses searchdatasources to find specific intelligence channels before running deep analysis.

Q: Does Google ADK support custom intelligence queries with KnowFirst?

Absolutely. The agent passes JSON parameters to querycustomintelligence to run highly targeted searches via the Google ADK MCP Server.

Bring KnowFirst market intelligence directly into your Google ADK enterprise agents to analyze trends at scale.

Perplexity

Run deep Gemini reasoning on KnowFirst corporate data

Retrieve complete profiles using `get_entity_profile` to feed massive corporate datasets into Gemini's million-token window. Your agent maps historical shifts with `audit_entity_changes` to spot patterns. Since Google ADK handles long contexts, you can feed years of data points from `list_entity_data_points` without hitting token limits. The agent cross-references these points against your BigQuery tables to spot patterns.

Cross-reference public sources using this MCP Server

Call `list_intelligence_sources` to trace exactly where your data comes from. The agent searches specific channels using `search_data_sources` to verify the reliability of the incoming intelligence. This MCP Server lets you restrict exposed tools using a tool name filter. If you only want your Gemini agent to read data, you can expose just the search tools and block write operations.

Automate market tracking inside Google ADK

Query `get_market_intelligence_trends` every morning to track sector shifts. The agent identifies new industry players and automatically runs `search_intelligence_entities` to get their IDs. You can deploy these agents directly to Google Cloud. They run on serverless infrastructure, pulling fresh market data and updating your internal dashboards without manual intervention.

Setup guide

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