How to Use the Depreciation Calculator MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I add the Depreciation Calculator to my Google ADK agent?

You instantiate an McpToolset with the server URL and pass it into the LlmAgent constructor's tools list. The ADK handles the rest, making the depreciation functions available to your agent.

Q: Can I limit which calculation tools my agent can see?

Yes, the McpToolset constructor in Google ADK accepts a toolnames filter. You can use this to expose only specific tools, like calculatestraightline, to a particular agent.

Integrate standard depreciation calculations into your enterprise agents with Google ADK and connect directly to your Google Cloud data.

Enterprise-Grade Depreciation Math

This MCP handles the three key depreciation formulas: straight-line, sum-of-the-years' digits, and declining balance. It provides a stable, external endpoint for these calculations so you don't have to maintain the financial logic yourself. Your agent can use `calculate_straight_line` for basic assets. For more complex schedules that front-load depreciation, it can invoke `calculate_sum_of_years_digits` or `calculate_declining_balance` to get the right numbers.

Connect to BigQuery with Google ADK

The real power comes from combining this MCP with Google ADK's native cloud integrations. An agent can pull a list of fixed assets from a BigQuery table, then loop through them and call this tool to calculate the depreciation for each one. This lets you build powerful financial reporting agents that live right next to your data. Gemini's long-context window means the agent can process large asset lists and generate detailed reports without losing track of the details.

A Focused, Reliable MCP Server

Instead of building a custom microservice for these calculations, you can just plug this MCP into your agent. It's a single-purpose tool that does one job and does it well. This simplifies your agent architecture. The Google ADK framework manages the toolset, letting your agent focus on orchestrating tasks between BigQuery and this specialized calculation MCP.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Depreciation Calculator MCP in Google ADK

You instantiate an `McpToolset` with the server URL and pass it into the `LlmAgent` constructor's `tools` list. The ADK handles the rest, making the depreciation functions available to your agent.

Absolutely. A common pattern is to have your agent query asset data from BigQuery, then pass the cost, salvage value, and life to this MCP for calculation.

No, it focuses on the three most common methods: straight-line, sum-of-the-years' digits, and declining balance. It does not support MACRS or other custom tables.

Yes, the `McpToolset` constructor in Google ADK accepts a `tool_names` filter. You can use this to expose only specific tools, like `calculate_straight_line`, to a particular agent.

The MCP only processes the specific numerical inputs for each calculation request, like asset cost and useful life. It never sees or stores your broader financial data from BigQuery or other sources. Communication is encrypted end-to-end.
