How to Use the Transistor.fm MCP in Google ADK

Perplexity

Automate Episode Publishing

The agent can manage the entire publication flow for any show. First, you use `get_show` to confirm the series details; then, run `create_episode`. Finally, when done reviewing it, you call `publish_episode` to push it out.

Manage Podcast Subscriptions

You can pull a roster of private subscribers using `list_subscribers`, giving your agent immediate access to the audience data. It’s also simple to add new people manually via the `add_subscriber` tool. This keeps your subscriber count accurate for reporting in BigQuery.

Audit and Update Content Details

If content needs tweaking, the agent can fetch existing details using `get_episode`. You make changes through `update_episode`, which is safer than manually recreating it. This process ensures continuity across your entire catalog.

Setup guide

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