FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for podcasts where a specific person is a guest or host?

Yes! Use the search_by_person tool with the person's name. The agent will return a list of podcasts associated with that individual.

How do I get the latest episodes from a specific show?

You can use either get_episodes_by_feed_id if you have the internal ID, or get_episodes_by_feed_url if you have the RSS link. Both will provide a list of recent episodes.

Can I find a podcast if I only have its iTunes ID?

Absolutely. Use the get_podcast_by_itunes_id tool to fetch the full Podcast Index metadata using the Apple Podcasts/iTunes identifier.

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.
