Frequently asked questions
How do I find my ClockShark API Key?
Log in as an Admin, navigate to Admin > Integrations, click on Connect Zapier, and copy your unique API Key.
Can the agent schedule new work shifts?
Yes! The create_shift tool allows the agent to assign a specific employee to a job with start and end times programmatically.
How do I retrieve a list of all jobs?
Use the list_jobs tool to retrieve your complete directory of active and archived projects directly from the platform.
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.
