Controlling the Note Lifecycle

Start new entries using `create_note`, just by giving the plaintext title and text. The sync layer handles all the complex encryption details so you don't have to worry about it. The agent can also modify content via `update_note`. This tool expects a UUID, which keeps the changes locked down to exactly one source.

Retrieving Item Details from the MCP Server

Need context on something specific? The `get_item_details` function retrieves details for any item—note, tag, or extension—by its UUID. It's precise. For a complete inventory, use `list_notes`, which pulls all encrypted notes while keeping the actual content safe.

Syncing and Organizing Tags

To maintain data consistency, run `sync_items` using your sync token. This makes sure everything is up to date across Standard Notes. Organization starts with `create_tag`, allowing you to define new tags, which can then be linked to notes using the `tag_note` tool.

Setup guide

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