How to Use the NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I install NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer for Google ADK?

Initialize a McpToolset with your StreamableHttpServerParameters. Pass the MCP toolset directly to your LlmAgent constructor.

Q: Can Google ADK filter NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer tools?

Yes. You can use the toolnames parameter to restrict the agent to just searchmedia if you want to block patent searches.

Connect Google ADK to NASA's media library and run deep patent analysis with Gemini's long-context window.

Perplexity

Feed Gemini 140,000 space assets

When you connect this MCP Server, your Gemini agent gains direct access to `search_media` for scanning Apollo, Hubble, and Mars rover archives. Google ADK thrives on massive datasets. The agent filters by media type and grabs the NASA IDs. Then it hits `get_media_asset` to pull the manifest files. You can feed those asset URLs directly into Vertex AI pipelines for image analysis.

Cross-reference with BigQuery

The `search_patents` tool pulls available NASA licenses right into your agent's context window. Space technology creates thousands of commercial spinoffs. If you already track industry trends in BigQuery, your agent can match NASA's tech transfer data against your internal tables. It spots licensing opportunities without you writing custom scraping scripts.

Parse complex mission metadata

Running `get_media_metadata` fetches the exact telemetry, dates, and equipment specs for any given shot. Raw images lack context. Gemini uses this structured data to write accurate reports. Instead of guessing which camera took a photo of the Orion nebula, an MCP integration guarantees the agent reads the facts straight from the source.

Setup guide

Set up NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer 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 NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer 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="NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)

Common questions about NASA Media & Patents — Images, Videos & Technology Transfer MCP in Google ADK

Initialize a `McpToolset` with your `StreamableHttpServerParameters`. Pass the MCP toolset directly to your `LlmAgent` constructor.

Yes. You can use the `tool_names` parameter to restrict the agent to just `search_media` if you want to block patent searches.

It returns a JSON array of available URLs. Your Google Cloud infrastructure needs to download the actual media files.

Gemini handles massive context windows easily. The MCP protocol simply streams the JSON responses back to the agent for processing.

The server only sees your search terms and year filters. Running this MCP Server means your query strings execute inside an isolated V8 sandbox that destroys itself after returning the results.
