Frequently asked questions
What format is required for the instance host?
Provide the full hostname without the 'https://' prefix, for example: box.yourdomain.com.
Can I add multiple forwarding targets to an alias?
Yes, when using the create_or_update_alias tool, provide a comma-separated list of emails in the forwards_to field.
Does this work with 2FA enabled accounts?
The current API implementation uses Basic Auth. If 2FA is enabled on your admin account, you may need to use an API key or a dedicated admin user without 2FA for the integration.
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.
