Query Bills via MCP Server

The `get_bill_details` tool pulls full legislative records for any bill you name. Since your agents run on Google Cloud, they can feed this structured data directly into BigQuery tables for immediate analysis alongside other enterprise metrics.

List Committees with Google ADK

You'll get a full list of congressional committees using `list_congress_committees`. This tool provides the necessary structure to map relationships between legislators and policy areas. With Gemini's long-context window, your agent can analyze thousands of committee records in one go.

Review Nominations via MCP Server

Run `list_congress_nominations` to pull details on both judicial and executive nominations. Your Google ADK agents process this data using Vertex AI, letting you perform complex reasoning across nomination timelines and congressional votes.

Setup guide

Set up U.S. Congress 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 U.S. Congress 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="U.S. Congress_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to U.S. Congress tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
