Managing Boards with the MCP Server

To start, call `list_boards` when you need a directory of all boards attached to your account. Once you have the board ID, `get_board` pulls down every piece of detail about that specific workspace. It's designed for enterprise visibility. The agent can also run `list_lists`, which shows the columns (lists) in a board. This gives context on how the project is structured before your agent touches any cards inside.

Updating and Finding Cards via Google ADK

If you need to locate specific items, use `search_cards` with keywords. This function returns matching cards while keeping track of the board and list context. It's perfect for filtering large datasets. The agent can modify existing records using `update_card`, or create completely new ones via `create_card`. You pass this data directly into your Google Cloud pipeline.

Listing Membership Details with Trello

The `list_members` tool pulls a list of every person attached to the board. This is critical for knowing who needs to be notified when changes happen. You can also check your own details using `get_me`. Want more visibility? Use `list_board_cards` to get all cards across every list on a single board, giving you one massive status report.

Setup guide

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