How to Use the ShipStation MCP in Google ADK

Q: How does Google ADK help process large ShipStation order lists?

It allows your agent to call listorders and pass those results into BigQuery. This means you can run complex queries on millions of records without hitting API limits.

Q: Can Google ADK track shipping status with ShipStation?

Yes, the toolset lets your agent call listshipments to get tracking numbers and statuses. This data can then be ingested into BigQuery for long-term compliance records.

Q: How do I handle customer record updates with ShipStation using Google ADK?

You use getcustomer or listcustomers. The resulting validated JSON data can then be mapped and loaded into BigQuery, keeping your master customer file updated.

Q: What are the steps for setting up ShipStation with Google ADK?

Your agent first needs to call listcarriers to identify available options. Then, it uses tools like addfunds and registeraccount to establish operational readiness within your cloud environment.

Q: What data does the MCP Server touch regarding inventory for ShipStation with Google ADK?

The server touches package details through listpackages. This is crucial for BigQuery, as it links specific dimensions and weights to corresponding order IDs.

Analyze Order History with the MCP Server

You can use `list_orders` to pull large sets of order data, filtering by date range or specific tags. This structure works great for feeding into BigQuery for historical analysis. The tool also lets you fetch a single record using `get_order`, perfect when your agent needs to validate one item against existing dataset records.

Automate Account Setup with Google ADK

`register_account` handles creating new ShipStation accounts, which is critical for scaling enterprise operations. It ensures the foundational account data exists before any shipping labels are created. You can also manage financial resources using `add_funds` to keep carrier accounts topped up.

Manage Webhooks and Data Flow via MCP Server

Need real-time updates? Use `subscribe_webhook` to hook your agent into key ShipStation events. This sends data directly to Google Cloud for processing. Your agent can also use `list_webhooks` to audit all currently active integrations and ensure everything is pointing where it should be.

Setup guide

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