Connect Google ADK to Metaphor MCP. Fetch content of recent ai research links, get metadata for top-shared tech articles, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Metaphor is a neural search engine that understands how people describe and share content online. It empowers developers to deliver smarter, context-driven search experiences.
This guide walks you through connecting Metaphor to Google ADK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Metaphor agent that can get document contents by ID through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Google ADK agent real control over a Metaphor account through Composio's Metaphor MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.
Google ADK (Agents Development Kit) is Google's framework for building AI agents powered by Gemini models. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services through the Model Context Protocol.
Key features include:
The Metaphor MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Metaphor account. It provides structured and secure access to your neural search data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving document contents, extracting metadata, and surfacing relevant knowledge from indexed documents on your behalf.
Composio's Composio SDK helps agents find the right tools for a task at runtime. You can plug in multiple toolkits (like Gmail, HubSpot, and GitHub), and the agent will identify the relevant app and action to complete multi-step workflows. This can reduce token usage and improve the reliability of tool calls. Read more here: Getting started with Composio SDK
The tool router generates a secure MCP URL that your agents can access to perform actions.
The Composio SDK follows a three-phase workflow:

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")You've successfully integrated Metaphor with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Metaphor using natural language commands.
Key takeaways:
You can extend this setup by adding more toolkits to the toolkits array in your session configuration.
Every Metaphor action and event your agent gets out of the box.
