Frequently asked questions
How do I get a CloudCard API Token?
Log in to your CloudCard Admin portal, go to your Profile or Settings, and generate an API Token (X-Auth-Token).
Can the agent auto-approve photos?
Yes, using the approve_id_photo tool, the agent can approve any pending photo submission once verified through conversation.
Is student ID management supported?
Absolutely. CloudCard is widely used in higher education, and this server supports registering students and managing their photo submissions.
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.
