How to Use the Trigger.dev MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I get an overview of all available projects using Trigger.dev and Google ADK?

Call the listprojects tool. This method gives your agent a definitive list of every project name in the system.

Q: Can the Google ADK use this MCP Server to check for running tasks?

Yes, it uses listruns to get a list of current task runs. If a process is stuck, you can then call getrun to investigate its status.

Q: If I need to trigger a manual test run using Trigger.dev and Google ADK?

Just invoke the triggertask tool. This immediately starts a background job, allowing your agent to test the workflow right away.

Monitor Background Job Status via MCP Server

The `list_runs` tool lets your agent see a full history of task runs, providing metrics on execution success rates. It's perfect for auditing how often a workflow completes without error. Need to get more details? The `get_run` function pulls the deep-dive status report you need.

Manage Projects and Schedules using Google ADK

Your agent can list every project via `list_projects`, giving it a full context of your enterprise architecture. It also uses `list_schedules` to map out all scheduled recurring jobs. This means you never lose track of what's supposed to run and when.

Control Workflows from Google ADK

The agent can start a task manually with `trigger_task`. It also has the ability to replay completed jobs using `replay_run`, letting you test fixes or changes against historical data without risk.

Setup guide

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