Video Player Management via MCP Server

The agent can list all video players with `list_video_players`, giving you a full view of your installed facades. It also allows updating the visual label or title of an existing player using `update_player_name`. This gives your Google ADK-powered system granular control over presentation assets.

Attaching and Detailing Video Assets

When you need to embed a specific video, the agent uses `attach_video_to_player` by passing both the player ID and the video ID. For background checks, `get_video_details` fetches technical metadata for any asset. It's also possible to retrieve direct stream URLs with `get_video_source_files`, which supports multiple qualities.

Cleaning Up Containers and Assets

The MCP Server handles the full lifecycle. You can permanently delete a video container using `delete_video_player`. If you need to remove an asset, `delete_video_asset` takes it out of Vidyard for good. This ensures your agents maintain a clean and accurate inventory of resources.

Setup guide

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