How to Use the Zip MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I check an order's status using Zip and Google ADK?

You call getziporderstatus. This tool verifies if the order is in one of three states: Authorized, Captured, or Cancelled.

Yes. Use the dedicated refundzippayment tool to finalize the money reversal for an existing order through the Zip API.

Q: What is the best way to void a payment using Zip and Google ADK?

Use voidzippayment. This action is specifically designed for authorized payments that haven't been captured yet, ensuring no funds are lost or mistakenly processed.

The createzipcheckout tool requires three inputs: the transaction amount, the currency code, and the designated redirect URLs.

Execute full checkout sessions

The `create_zip_checkout` tool initializes a new checkout session, requiring amount, currency, and redirect URLs. This sets the stage for your payment flow. The agent can then execute subsequent actions like `authorize_zip_order` or complete it with `confirm_zip_order`.

Query order state details

Use `get_zip_order_status` to pull the current status of any target Zip order. The response tells you if the transaction is Authorized, Captured, or Cancelled. This allows your agent to write logic based on the real-time financial state before making a move.

Manage payment reversals

For handling refunds, run `refund_zip_payment` against an order. This processes the money back to the original source. Alternatively, if authorization happened but no capture occurred, use `void_zip_payment` to clean up the pending funds.

Setup guide

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