How to Use the United Airlines MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I get scheduled future flights with United Airlines and Google ADK?

Run getfutureflights specifying the target date and if you want arrivals or departures. This pulls planned flight numbers, times, gates, and aircraft types before they happen, letting your agent plan weeks out.

Q: Can I validate a United Airlines route using Google ADK?

Yes, use getroute. You just need the two airport IATA codes. The tool checks if United operates the path and details whether it's direct or involves a partner carrier.

Q: What happens when I check historical data for United Airlines using Google ADK?

The getflighthistory function returns actual performance metrics, including recorded delays and cancellations. This allows you to build statistical models in BigQuery based on real-world operational outcomes.

Q: If I need airport details for United Airlines flights using Google ADK?

The getairportinfo tool is your answer. You provide the IATA code, and it returns the full name, city, country, coordinates, and timezone—everything you need to anchor an event.

Track Real-Time Flight Movements

Need to know what's happening at the gate? Use `get_arrivals` or `get_departures` to list all incoming and outgoing United Airlines flights for a given day. You get flight numbers, scheduled times, gates, terminals, and current status. For maximum visibility, you can run `get_flights_by_status`. This finds all disrupted flights—delayed, cancelled, or diverted—at an airport, which is huge when managing large groups of travelers.

Map Out United Airlines Network Coverage

Building a new itinerary? Check potential routes with `get_route`. It confirms if a connection exists between two specific airports and tells you if it's direct or codeshared. This is foundational planning. For total market coverage, the `get_airline_routes` tool lists every pair United serves. Your agent can process this massive dataset in BigQuery for deep analysis.

Deep Dive into Flight Performance History

Don't trust just one day's status. Use `get_flight_history` to analyze actual performance—including delays and cancellations—for any date past. This data is gold for optimizing schedules. Furthermore, the agent can pull fleet details using `get_aircraft_fleet`, providing static records of every aircraft type United Airlines operates.

Setup guide

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