Frequently asked questions
Can I search for photos taken in a specific city?
Yes! Use the search_flickr_photos tool and include the city name in your text query. For more precision, you can also ask for specific tags related to that city.
Does this integration provide the direct image URL?
Yes. The search results include a direct link (url_m) to the medium-sized version of the photo, which can be viewed in any web browser or reference in documents.
Can I see the technical metadata like camera settings?
The get_flickr_photo_info tool retrieves titles, descriptions, and owner metadata. For exhaustive technical EXIF data, Flickr requires specific additional permissions not included in the standard discovery toolset.
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.
