Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Ashby API Key?
Log in to Ashby, go to Admin > API Keys, and click Create API Key. Ensure you grant the necessary permissions (e.g., jobsRead, candidatesRead).
Why does this server use POST for all requests?
The Ashby API is designed as an RPC-style API where even data retrieval (reading) endpoints require a POST request with a JSON body.
Can I search for candidates by email?
Yes, use the search_candidates tool and provide the email parameter to find a specific candidate in your database.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
