How to Use the NCDC Climate Data Online MCP in Google ADK

Q: How to query NCDC Climate Data Online within Google ADK?

Add the server to your McpToolset and pass it to your LlmAgent. Your agent will then be able to call any of the 10 available climate tools.

Q: Does Google ADK support all NCDC Climate Data Online tools?

Every tool, from listdatasets to getclimatedata, is fully supported. The ADK framework maps these to native functions that the agent can call whenever needed.

Connect Google ADK agents to authoritative historical climate records for enterprise-grade weather analysis.

Perplexity

Enterprise-scale climate lookups

Your Google ADK agent navigates the NCDC hierarchy by calling `list_location_categories` to narrow down the search. It filters by state or country to isolate relevant weather stations. It then uses `get_station` to confirm the historical availability of the site. This ensures your agent acts on valid metadata before requesting climate records.

Native integration with Gemini

The agent feeds raw output from `get_climate_data` directly into Gemini's massive context window. You can analyze decades of weather trends without manual data formatting. Using the `McpToolset` in your ADK agent keeps the connection stable. It handles the transport layer so your logic focuses on climate interpretation.

Granular data filtering

Specify exact needs by calling `list_data_types` to find parameters like snowfall or average temperature. This prevents the agent from pulling unnecessary, high-latency payloads. You can restrict exposed tools using the tool_names filter in your `McpToolset`. This keeps your agent's decision space clean and focused on specific research tasks.

Setup guide

Set up NCDC Climate Data Online 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 NCDC Climate Data Online 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="NCDC Climate Data Online_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to NCDC Climate Data Online tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
