FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I filter my library to only show Movies or Series?

Yes! Use the list_items tool and provide 'Movie' or 'Series' in the include_item_types parameter to filter your results accordingly.

How do I check if my Jellyfin server is running the latest version?

You can use the get_system_info tool. It returns the server version, operating system, and other vital system metrics.

Can I see all the root libraries configured on my server?

Absolutely. Run the list_virtual_folders tool to retrieve a list of all top-level libraries like Movies, TV Shows, and Music.

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.
