How to Use the Meetup MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I use Google ADK to filter which Meetup tools are exposed?

Absolutely. Use the toolnames filter in your McpToolset definition to restrict access to specific functions like searchgroups.

Event data ingestion for Google ADK

Your agent calls `list_upcoming_events` to feed raw event data directly into your infrastructure. It works with Gemini's massive context window to summarize large batches of event logs. Detailed event specifics are fetched via `get_event` when your agent needs to resolve a venue or time conflict. It keeps your data pipeline accurate.

Community member analysis

The `list_group_members` tool allows your agent to aggregate member data for deeper insights. It helps you track community growth patterns over time. Your agent maintains strict control over these queries. It ensures you only see the data allowed by your current Meetup permissions.

Efficient group search

Use `search_groups` to populate your agent's knowledge base with active local groups. It identifies the most relevant communities for your specific domain. This avoids the need for manual browsing. Your agent finds the groups and returns the metadata you need for your next move.

Setup guide

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