Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a song if I only know a few words of the lyrics?
Yes! Use the search tool with the lyrics you remember. The agent will return the most relevant song matches from the Genius database.
How do I see the meaning behind a specific line in a song?
You can use get_referents with a song_id to see all annotated sections, or get_annotation with a specific ID to read the detailed community explanation.
Is it possible to vote on annotations through the AI?
Absolutely. You can use upvote_annotation, downvote_annotation, or unvote_annotation by providing the Annotation ID, provided your token has the necessary scopes.
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.
