Frequently asked questions
Can I perform SQL queries on Barcelona's public datasets?
Yes, you can use the bcn_datastore_search_sql tool to execute SELECT statements directly against any resource that is stored in the portal's datastore.
How do I find datasets related to a specific topic like 'transport'?
Use the bcn_package_search tool with the query parameter q set to your topic. You can also limit the number of results for faster browsing.
Is it possible to see the actual rows of a CSV file without downloading it?
Absolutely. The bcn_datastore_search tool allows you to query and preview the contents of a resource directly, including filtering and sorting options.
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.
