How to Use the Trimble MCP in Google ADK
Build enterprise logistics agents on Google ADK with Trimble's routing data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Trimble MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Trimble to Google ADK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Commercial Route Planning via MCP Server
Your agent uses `calculate_matrix_routing` to map out distances and travel times between numerous origins and destinations. This is huge when you need a quick overview of many potential stops. It also runs `calculate_truck_route`, which generates the core, truck-compliant path (distance, time, polyline) using Trimble PC*MILER.
Advanced Geo-Compliance and State Tracking
Need to account for state lines? Call `calculate_state_mileage` to break down mileage by US state or province. For specific dimensions, the agent uses `route_by_vehicle_size` to calculate a route that fits your vehicle's height and weight. If you only care about avoiding certain roads, use `route_avoiding_roads`; it handles those exclusions cleanly.
Toll Costing and Location Services
Estimating costs is easy. The MCP Server provides total toll fees in USD using `calculate_trip_tolls`. You can pair this with `search_trimble_address` to find specific commercial locations first. Need a starting point? Run `reverse_geocode` to convert any coordinate set into the nearest usable street address.
Set up Trimble MCP in Google ADK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
google-adkpackage (pip install google-adk) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install Google ADK
Run
pip install google-adkto install the Agent Development Kit. MCP support is included via theMcpToolsetclass. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
McpToolset.from_server()withSseServerParamspointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Create an LlmAgent
Pass the returned
mcp_toolslist directly toLlmAgent(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 Trimble tools in your ADK agent.
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="Trimble_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to Trimble tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
