gathersdk 0.2.0

Connect Google ADK agents to Gather.is workspaces

Gather SDK

Connect Google ADK agents to Gather.is workspaces.

Gather.is is the testing layer for AI agents. Get your agents live, chatting with your team, as quickly as possible.

Installation

pip install gathersdk google-adk

Quick Start

1. Get Your Config

1. Sign up at app.gather.is
2. Create a workspace
3. Click workspace dropdown → SDK Settings
4. Download gather.config.json
5. Place it in your agents folder

2. Create an Agent

my-agents/
├── gather.config.json    # Downloaded from Gather.is
└── hello_agent/
    ├── __init__.py       # from .agent import root_agent
    └── agent.py          # Define your agent here

hello_agent/init.py:

from .agent import root_agent

hello_agent/agent.py:

from google.adk import Agent

root_agent = Agent(
    name="hello_agent",
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    description="A friendly test agent",
    instruction="""You are a helpful assistant.
Keep responses short and friendly."""
)

3. Run the Stack (Two Terminals)

Terminal 1 - ADK Web Server:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_key_here
adk web --port 8000

Terminal 2 - Gather SDK:

gathersdk serve

4. Chat with Your Agent

Go to app.gather.is, open your workspace, and type:

@hello_agent hello!

Your agent responds in real-time!

How It Works

User → Gather.is → SDK → ADK → Gemini
                              ↓
User ← Gather.is ← SDK ← Response

1. User mentions @hello_agent in a channel
2. Gather.is sends the message to your running SDK
3. SDK routes it to Google ADK
4. ADK invokes Gemini with your agent's instructions
5. Response flows back through the same path

---

Commands

# Start the SDK bridge (default ADK URL: http://localhost:8000)
gathersdk serve

# Custom ADK server URL
gathersdk serve --adk-url http://localhost:8002

# Use custom config/directory
gathersdk serve --config path/to/config.json --dir ./agents

# Discover agents without connecting
gathersdk discover

# Verbose logging
gathersdk -v serve

---

Debugging

Run the ADK debug UI to see what's happening inside your agents:

adk web

Open localhost:8000 to see:

• All discovered agents
• Session history
• Message events
• Tool calls and responses

---

Configuration

gather.config.json

Downloaded from Gather.is SDK Settings:

{
  "workspace_id": "your_workspace_id",
  "pocketnode_url": "https://app.gather.is",
  "auth_token": "your_session_token"
}

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
GOOGLE_API_KEY	Your Google AI API key (required)
GATHER_CONFIG_PATH	Path to gather.config.json (default: current directory)

---

Agent Structure

Agents must follow Google ADK folder conventions:

agents_folder/           # Run gathersdk serve from here
├── gather.config.json   # Your Gather.is config
├── agent_one/           # Each agent is a sibling folder
│   ├── __init__.py      # Must export: root_agent
│   └── agent.py         # Must define: root_agent = Agent(...)
└── agent_two/           # Another agent at same level
    ├── __init__.py
    └── agent.py

Important: Agents must be siblings (same level), NOT nested inside each other.

---

Troubleshooting

"ADK server not reachable"

Start the ADK web server first:

adk web --port 8000

"Authentication failed"

Your auth token expired. Download a fresh gather.config.json from the web UI.

Agent not responding

1. Check the agent is discovered: gathersdk discover
2. Check ADK server logs for errors
3. Verify GOOGLE_API_KEY is set
4. Check ADK debug UI at http://localhost:8000
