How to Use the Zenodo MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I search for past Zenodo depositions using the Google ADK?

Use the listdepositions tool. This function provides a list of all your existing deposition IDs, letting you know exactly what data has been stored on Zenodo.

Q: What tools are available for managing Zenodo records with the Google ADK?

You can create new work with createdeposition, update it using updatedeposition, and eventually publish it via publishdeposition. These actions control the entire lifecycle.

Q: If I need to check the status of a Zenodo record using the Google ADK?

Calling getrecord is how your agent retrieves all published details for a specific ID. This gives you immediate, verified access to the data.

Systematically Manage Scientific Data Lifecycles

Your agent uses `create_deposition` to generate a new record on Zenodo, which is the first step in managing research data. Once the initial files are uploaded via `upload_deposition_file`, you can call `edit_deposition` to refine the accompanying metadata. If the project changes significantly, don't worry. You simply use `new_version_deposition` to create a version bump that preserves all previous work.

Search and Retrieve Zenodo Records Using Google ADK

Need to find existing data? Your agent can search across published works using `list_records`. For deep dives, calling `get_record` retrieves a complete, ready-to-use dataset by ID. You can also list all your deposited projects with `list_depositions`, giving you an immediate inventory of everything the organization has stored.

Control Zenodo Content and Visibility

When a deposition is ready for viewing, use `publish_deposition` to make it live. Be careful: once published, that content can't be removed. If you need to undo changes on a draft, the `discard_deposition` tool handles it. For maintenance, you can update existing records with `update_deposition`, or get granular details about the files in a specific project using `list_deposition_files`.

Setup guide

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