# Google ADK

[Agent Development Kit (ADK)](https://github.com/google/adk-python) is an open-source, code-first Python framework from Google for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents. While optimized for Gemini, ADK is model-agnostic and compatible with other frameworks.

You can connect ADK agents to Qdrant using the [Qdrant MCP Server](https://github.com/qdrant/mcp-server-qdrant/), giving your agent the ability to store and retrieve information using semantic search.

## Installation

```bash
pip install google-adk
```

## Usage

```python
from google.adk.agents import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool import McpToolset
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StdioConnectionParams
from mcp import StdioServerParameters

QDRANT_URL = "http://localhost:6333"
COLLECTION_NAME = "my_collection"

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-pro",
    name="qdrant_agent",
    instruction="Help users store and retrieve information using semantic search",
    tools=[
        McpToolset(
            connection_params=StdioConnectionParams(
                server_params=StdioServerParameters(
                    command="uvx",
                    args=["mcp-server-qdrant"],
                    env={
                        "QDRANT_URL": QDRANT_URL,
                        "COLLECTION_NAME": COLLECTION_NAME,
                    }
                ),
                timeout=30,
            ),
        )
    ],
)
```
