How to Use the Zapier Smart Home MCP in Google ADK

Q: How does Google ADK manage multi-step requests for Zapier Smart Home?

The agent uses triggeraizap to initiate a complex flow. It reads the natural language description, finds the corresponding pre-built Zap in your account, and runs it step-by-step. This is better than chaining individual calls.

Q: Can I list all possible smart home functions with Zapier Smart Home and Google ADK?

Yes. The listsmarthomeactions tool returns up to 50 matching actions, giving your agent the scope it needs to understand every controllable device in your network.

Q: Does the Google ADK support granular control over lighting in Zapier Smart Home?

It does. You can call listlightingactions to get dedicated functions for controlling color, dimming levels, and simple on/off states. This lets your agent handle precise adjustments.

Q: What if I need to verify an action before running it in Zapier Smart Home with Google ADK?

Run previewzapierzap. You give the tool a description, and it runs a dry-run preview. This lets you confirm that your agent correctly interpreted the natural language intent without affecting any physical devices.

Perplexity

Execute device actions via `execute_zapier_action`

You execute a specific action ID directly. This is how the agent controls devices when it knows precisely what it needs to do, bypassing complex natural language parsing for reliable execution. It ensures that whether you're adjusting the thermostat or unlocking a door, the call hits the target API cleanly and efficiently.

Search across 5000+ apps with MCP Server

Need to know what devices are connected? Use `list_smarthome_actions` for a broad survey of available controls, or use `search_zapier_actions`. This gives the agent comprehensive knowledge of all possible integrations. This is critical when dealing with large data sets across multiple brand ecosystems.

Manage complex home routines using `trigger_ai_zap`

Instead of single commands, use `trigger_ai_zap` to manage entire workflows. This lets the agent run a series of connected actions—like turning off lights *and* locking doors when you leave. It handles the state transitions required for complex 'leaving' or 'arriving' scenarios.

Setup guide

Set up Zapier Smart Home 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 Zapier Smart Home 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="Zapier Smart Home_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Zapier Smart Home tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
