Perplexity

Get top headlines by country

The `get_top_world_news` tool fetches the most important stories for a given country and language. This delivers immediate, high-level summaries of current events globally. It's ideal when you need an instant overview before feeding data into BigQuery. Your agent uses this to gather structured initial datasets that are ready for long-context reasoning with Gemini models.

Deeply extract article content

Need the full text from a source link? Use `extract_news_from_url`. This tool pulls comprehensive metadata and clean, readable article body from any specific URL. The result is formatted for easy ingestion into large data models. This goes way beyond headlines; it gives your agent the raw material required for complex analysis within Google Cloud.

Targeted world news searches

The `search_world_news` tool lets you query articles using keywords or specific phrases. You tell the server what to look for, and it returns matching records. This focused approach keeps your data sets clean and relevant. It's a powerful way to narrow down massive amounts of global news data before running advanced queries against BigQuery.

Setup guide

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