FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for specific authors or titles using this server?

Yes! Use the search_sciencedirect tool with specific query syntax like auth(name) for authors or tak(query) for Title/Abstract/Keywords to find exactly what you need.

How do I check if my institution has access to a specific paper?

You can use the get_article_entitlement tool. By providing the DOI or PII, the agent will verify if the authenticated user or institution has the rights to access the full text.

Can I retrieve metadata for a journal if I only have the ISSN?

Absolutely. Use the get_serial_title tool and provide the ISSN. The agent will return the journal's metadata, including title and subject classifications.

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.
