Gather specific ballot information with the MCP Server

The `get_ballot_information` tool lets you retrieve full ballot details by specifying both an election and a physical address. This function provides structured data that your Gemini models can process alongside BigQuery records. When building enterprise agents, having this specific voter-level context allows you to enrich historical voting patterns with current, actionable facts.

Check the operational status of vote.direct

Start by calling `check_api_status`. This simple call confirms the entire MCP Server is online and ready for data ingestion into Vertex AI. It's a necessary first step before running complex, long-context queries. If the service fails this check, your agent knows immediately to halt processing, saving expensive compute time on Google Cloud.

Identify polling locations via MCP Server

Use `get_polling_locations` and provide an address. The tool returns a list of active voting sites near that location. This output can then be passed into your Gemini model for geo-spatial analysis. It’s perfect for agents needing to map out voter access points across large, complex data sets.

Setup guide

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