How to Use the Lichess.org Open Chess Intelligence MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I restrict which Lichess.org Open Chess Intelligence tools my Google ADK agent can access?

Yes. You can pass a toolnames filter to the McpToolset constructor to expose only specific tools like getleaderboards while hiding administrative or team tools.

Q: How do I find active chess streamers using this integration?

Use the listlivestreamers tool. Your agent can fetch the active streamer list and match it against your database of tracked creators.

Q: What happens to my Lichess user activity data when running this server on Google Cloud?

All user activity data fetched via getuseractivity is processed in memory inside an ephemeral V8 sandbox. The server never writes this data to persistent storage, ensuring your tracking logs remain private.

Run deep chess analytics on Google ADK by connecting raw Lichess broadcast and player data to Gemini's long-context window via this MCP server.

Enterprise Chess Analytics with Google ADK

The `get_user_games` tool exports historical match data from Lichess profiles directly into your enterprise pipeline. Your agent can feed these massive PGN files straight into Gemini's million-token context window to analyze long-term strategic shifts. You can pipe this output directly into BigQuery for cohort analysis. The Google ADK makes it easy to bridge live chess telemetry with your existing cloud database infrastructure.

Real-Time Broadcast and TV Monitoring

The `get_tv_channels` tool identifies active high-rated games currently featured on Lichess TV. Your agent monitors these matches to extract grandmaster tactical patterns as they unfold in real time. Using `list_broadcasts` alongside this tool allows your agent to keep track of major global tournaments. Google ADK handles the transport layer, letting your cloud-hosted agents process these events with minimal latency.

Player Tracking and Team Activity

The `get_team_members` tool pulls the complete roster of any public chess club on the platform. Your agent can cross-reference this list with `get_users_online_status` to see which club members are active right now. This allows your agent to run automated team tournaments or monitor club engagement. You configure this by passing the MCP toolset directly to your LlmAgent constructor in your Python code.

Setup guide

Set up Lichess.org Open Chess Intelligence 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 Lichess.org Open Chess Intelligence 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="Lichess.org Open Chess Intelligence_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Lichess.org Open Chess Intelligence tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
