3 Integration Paths

Recommended

Path 1: MCP Gateway

2 minutes

ADK native MCPToolset connects to 90 Dobby MCP tools. Fastest path — your agent gets task management, approvals, knowledge base, and more.

Path 2: A2A Protocol

Bidirectional

ADK auto-generates Agent Cards. Dobby auto-discovers them. Task delegation flows both ways with full governance.

Path 3: External Agent

Webhooks

Path 1: MCP GatewayFastest

ADK has native MCP support via MCPToolset. Your agent gets access to all 90 Dobby MCP tools — task management, approvals, knowledge base, agent operations, and more.

ADK Agent with Dobby MCP

python

from google.adk import Agent
from google.adk.tools import MCPToolset

# Connect ADK agent to Dobby's MCP Gateway
dobby_tools = MCPToolset(
    command="npx",
    args=["-y", "@dobbyai/mcp-external"],
    env={
        "DOBBY_API_URL": "https://dobby-ai.com",
        "DOBBY_API_KEY": "gk_user_your_key_here",
        "DOBBY_TENANT_ID": "tenant_your_id",
    }
)

agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="my-dobby-agent",
    instruction="You are a helpful agent with Dobby tools.",
    tools=[dobby_tools],
)

Path 2: A2A ProtocolBidirectional

ADK auto-generates Agent Cards at /.well-known/agent.json. Dobby discovers them and registers the agent automatically. Tasks flow both ways with governance, approvals, and audit trail.

A2A Task Delegation

python

from google.adk import Agent
from google.adk.a2a import A2AClient

# Discover Dobby's capabilities via A2A
dobby = A2AClient("https://dobby-ai.com")
card = dobby.discover()

# Delegate a task to Dobby
task = dobby.create_task(
    skill_id="code-review",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Review PR #42"}]
    }]
)

print(f"Task {task.id}: {task.status}")

Path 3: External Agent (Webhooks)Scheduled

Register your ADK agent URL in Dobby. Set up cron schedules, manual triggers, and approval gates. Dobby sends webhook POSTs to your agent, and your agent sends callbacks when done.

Webhook Handler

python

# 1. Register your ADK agent in Dobby dashboard
#    External Agents > Add > Google ADK > Enter URL

# 2. Your agent receives webhook triggers:
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/webhook")
async def handle_trigger(payload: dict):
    task_id = payload["task_id"]
    # Process the task...

    # 3. Send callback to Dobby
    import httpx
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        await client.post(
            f"https://dobby-ai.com/api/v1/external-agents/{agent_id}/events",
            json={"type": "run.completed", "task_id": task_id},
            headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {gateway_key}"}
        )
