How to Use the TripGo MCP in Google ADK

Q: Can I find stops near me using TripGo and the Google ADK?

Absolutely. Pass a GPS coordinate to getnearbystops. The tool returns IDs, names, routes, and distance from that point, letting your agent give accurate directions.

Q: Does TripGo help with verifying route details via the Google ADK?

Yes. Use getrouteinfo with a specific route ID. This tells you about the route's full coverage area, ensuring your agent doesn't plan trips outside of service boundaries.

Q: How do I check schedules using TripGo and the Google ADK?

You use getdepartures or getarrivals. These tools take a stop ID and give you the scheduled versus estimated times for upcoming rides, helping your agent advise users accurately.

Perplexity

Plan multi-modal journeys for big data use cases.

For large-scale operations, `plan_trip` handles complex public transport planning. It combines buses, trains, trams, and walking into a single output that shows multiple options, timings, and transfers. If your agents need to process thousands of trips, this tool provides the structured data needed for BigQuery ingestion.

Get detailed information about specific stops.

Before an agent commits resources to a stop, run `get_stop_details`. This requires a stop ID and returns comprehensive facility info. You can't just assume what's there. Pairing this with `search_stops` lets your Google ADK agents pinpoint the right location data before planning.

Manage regional coverage across continents.

Need to know if a city is even supported? Use `get_regions`. This tool lists all available transit regions—North America, Europe, etc.—so your agent can verify scope first. This initial check prevents failed API calls and keeps your large-context Gemini reasoning focused on actionable areas.

Setup guide

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