Perplexity

Validate external service health.

The `check_api_status` tool lets your Gemini-powered agents confirm the operational status of ZenQuotes API. This is critical when running complex, multi-step workflows. It acts as a dependable pre-flight check. Your agent only proceeds with quote requests if this endpoint reports success.

Fetch random quotes on demand.

Call `get_random_zen_quote` when your agents need an immediate burst of inspiration or data points. The tool delivers a single, random inspirational quote. This integrates smoothly into long-context reasoning, letting Gemini models use the quote in conjunction with BigQuery data.

Bulk retrieve quotes for analysis.

When you need to analyze patterns or generate content drafts, `get_zen_quotes_batch` grabs 50 random inspirational quotes. This bulk operation is perfect for prepping large text inputs. Your agents can then process this batch data right alongside petabytes of information stored in Google Cloud.

Setup guide

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