How to Use the WHO GHO MCP in Google ADK
Build enterprise health intelligence agents using Google ADK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect WHO GHO MCP to Google ADK
Create your Vinkius account to connect WHO GHO to Google ADK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Get a country's basic health profile.
Need an immediate health snapshot? The `get_who_country_profile` tool lets your agent pull data for any ISO-3 code, like 'USA' or 'DEU'. It keeps the interaction simple and direct. This is perfect when you're running complex analyses in BigQuery but need quick context on a foreign nation’s basic health status right away.
Retrieve historical indicator data.
For deep dives, use `get_who_indicator_data`. It returns country-level values for a WHO indicator, breaking down the numbers by year and handling sex disaggregation when available. This is solid, reliable data. Your agent can track changes in mortality rates or life expectancy over long periods. The results are clean enough to dump straight into your existing Google Cloud tables.
Search 2200+ health indicators.
Don't know the code you need? Run `search_who_indicators`. This tool searches through over 2,200 global health indicators from 194 nations. It’s a massive lookup table for your agent. It gives you all the codes necessary to then pull specific data with `get_who_indicator_data` later on. You won't waste time guessing.
Set up WHO GHO MCP in Google ADK
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
-
google-adkpackage (pip install google-adk) - Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
- 1
Install Google ADK
Run
pip install google-adkto install the Agent Development Kit. MCP support is included via theMcpToolsetclass. - 2
Connect via SSE transport
Use
McpToolset.from_server()withSseServerParamspointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. - 3
Create an LlmAgent
Pass the returned
mcp_toolslist directly toLlmAgent(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 WHO GHO tools in your ADK agent.
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="WHO GHO_agent",
model="gemini-2.0-flash",
instruction="You have access to WHO GHO tools via MCP.",
tools=mcp_tools,
