FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I fetch a random photo based on a specific search term or topic?

Yes! Use the get_random_photo tool. You can provide a query (like 'nature') or topics IDs to filter the random selection to exactly what you need.

02

Is it possible to create and manage my own photo collections via the AI?

Absolutely. With a valid Bearer Token, you can use create_collection, add_photo_to_collection, and remove_photo_from_collection to curate your Unsplash assets directly through conversation.

03

How can I check the performance or popularity of a specific photo?

You can use the get_photo_statistics tool by providing the photo ID. It will return detailed metrics including total views and downloads.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.
