Frequently asked questions
Can I search for news articles from a specific date range?
Yes! Use the search_everything tool and provide the from and to parameters in ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2023-12-01) to restrict your search to a specific timeframe.
How do I find the top business headlines in a specific country like the UK?
You can use the get_top_headlines tool. Set the country parameter to 'gb' and the category parameter to 'business' to get the latest relevant news.
Is it possible to see which news sources are available for a specific language?
Absolutely. Use the list_sources tool and specify the language parameter (e.g., 'en', 'pt', 'fr') to retrieve a list of all supported publishers for that language.
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.
