How to Use the ThePDFMaker MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I check if ThePDFMaker is running correctly with Google ADK?

Run getapistatus. It provides an immediate confirmation of connectivity to the MCP Server. This is a critical first step before integrating document generation into your large-scale BigQuery workflow.

Q: Can I audit all available templates with ThePDFMaker and Google ADK?

Yes, use listpdftemplates to retrieve every template ID. This helps the agent confirm which formats are valid for generating invoices or other reports.

Q: If I need to know what documents were generated using ThePDFMaker and Google ADK?

Use listrecentpdfs. It gives you a quick look at recent generations, letting your agent audit past runs without needing complex database queries.

Q: How do I handle status polling for the PDF generation process with ThePDFMaker and Google ADK?

After initiating a job via generatepdf, you must use getpdfstatus repeatedly. This tool polls the MCP Server until it provides the final, working document link.

Generate complex reports for Google ADK.

When your Gemini agent needs to create a finalized report, it calls `generate_pdf`. You supply the template ID and all necessary data points from BigQuery. The MCP Server handles the rendering process, producing pixel-perfect PDFs ready for consumption. The outcome is reliable document creation, whether you're generating an invoice or a complex annual summary. Remember to check `get_credit_balance` before running any large batch jobs.

Manage templates using the MCP Server.

Enterprise systems require strict version control on documents. Use `list_pdf_templates` and `get_template_details` to audit every format available in ThePDFMaker. If a template is deprecated, calling `delete_pdf_template` removes it cleanly from the system. For full visibility into what's happening, use `list_webhooks`. This shows all active notifications set up by your Google ADK workflow.

Monitor PDF status and assets for Google ADK.

Generating a document is asynchronous. Your agent must poll the result using `get_pdf_status` until it gets the final document link. If you need supporting files like corporate logos, first call `list_asset_files`. This tool gives your agent the necessary IDs to inject into the template. It's also smart practice to use `create_webhook`, which lets the MCP Server notify your Google ADK pipeline the moment a PDF is ready.

Setup guide

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