Why teams choose Vinkius for Onfido in Google ADK
The Onfido 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 6 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
How can I check the current status of a verification process?
Use the get_workflow_run tool with the specific Workflow Run ID. It will return the current state, such as 'awaiting_input', 'processing', 'approved', or 'declined'.
Can I create a verification check without using Workflow Studio?
Yes. Use the create_check tool for legacy integrations. You can specify a comma-separated list of report names, such as 'document, facial_similarity_photo', for a specific applicant ID.
How do I get notified when a report is completed?
You can use the register_webhook tool to set up a listener URL for specific events like 'report.completed', 'check.completed', or 'workflow_run.completed'.
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.
