Connect NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System to Google ADK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Query Exoplanets at Scale
The `query_confirmed_planets` tool lets your agent search the entire NASA Exoplanet Archive. You can filter by dozens of parameters to get exactly the data you need. Here's the thing. With the Google ADK, your Gemini-powered agent can pull a massive dataset—say, all planets discovered via 'Radial Velocity'—and stream the results directly into a BigQuery table. You're not just asking questions; you're building an enterprise-grade data warehouse in your own GCP project.
Long-Context Reasoning on your MCP Server
This MCP server gives you focused tools like `get_habitable_zone` and `get_transit_planets`. They're powerful on their own, but the Google ADK changes the game. Because Gemini models have such a large context window, your agent can pull both the habitable zone candidates and the full list of transit planets, hold it all in memory, and reason across the combined dataset. It can find correlations that would be impossible to spot with one-off queries, like identifying habitable zone candidates that were missed by primary transit surveys.
Build a Cloud-Native Data Pipeline
Your agent can use the `get_planet_stats` tool to get a high-level summary of exoplanet discoveries. It’s a simple but powerful starting point for a bigger workflow. Within the Google Cloud ecosystem, this summary isn't just text. It can be the trigger for a Vertex AI pipeline. Your agent gets the stats, and that kicks off a process to retrain a model, generate a new report, or alert your team. This server becomes a live data source for your entire cloud operation.
Set up NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP in Google ADK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
google-adkpackage (pip install google-adk) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install Google ADK
Run
pip install google-adkto install the Agent Development Kit. MCP support is included via theMcpToolsetclass. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
McpToolset.from_server()withSseServerParamspointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Create an LlmAgent
Pass the returned
mcp_toolslist directly toLlmAgent(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 NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System tools in your ADK agent.
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(
