Why teams choose Vinkius for Howspace in Google ADK
The Howspace MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 7 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Google ADK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Can I create a workspace and add participants through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_workspace with a name to create a new collaborative workspace. Then use add_participant with the workspace ID, participant email, and optional first/last name to invite members. Use list_workspaces to see all existing workspaces and list_participants to review who is already in a workspace.
Does Howspace require a custom Base URL in addition to the API Key?
Yes. Howspace instances are hosted on custom subdomains, so you need to provide your Base URL (e.g., https://your-org.howspace.com) along with the API Key. The API Key is sent as a Bearer token, and all requests are routed to your specific Howspace instance.
Can I view all campaigns running in my Howspace account?
Yes. The list_campaigns tool retrieves all campaigns configured in your account, including engagement campaigns, communication sequences, and notification triggers. Use get_me to verify your authenticated identity and permissions.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
