Connect Google ADK to Vestaboard MCP. List all your vestaboard subscriptions, send 'lunch is ready!' to kitchen board, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.
Vestaboard is a smart messaging display that brings digital messages to life using a mechanical split-flap board. It lets you share updates, reminders, or inspiration in a visually striking, physical way.
This guide walks you through connecting Vestaboard to Google ADK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Vestaboard agent that can send messages to your Vestaboard and list your subscriptions through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Google ADK agent real control over a Vestaboard account through Composio's Vestaboard 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 Vestaboard MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Vestaboard account. It provides structured and secure access to your Vestaboard displays, so your agent can perform actions like listing subscriptions, sending custom messages, and managing display content 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 Vestaboard with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Vestaboard using natural language commands.
Key takeaways:
You can extend this setup by adding more toolkits to the toolkits array in your session configuration.
Every Vestaboard action and event your agent gets out of the box.
