Google has introduced two complementary tools to prevent coding agents from generating outdated Gemini API code caused by training data cutoffs. The Gemini API Docs MCP leverages the Model Context Protocol to provide agents with real-time access to the most current documentation, SDKs, and model configurations. To complement this, the Gemini API Developer Skills offer best-practice instructions and patterns to guide agents toward modern SDK usage. When combined, these tools significantly boost performance, achieving a 96.3% pass rate on evaluation sets and reducing token consumption by 63% per correct answer compared to standard prompting.
Agoda engineers developed API Agent, a system with zero code and zero deployments that enables a single Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to connect to internal REST or GraphQL APIs. The system is designed to reduce the operational overhead of managing multiple APIs with distinct schemas and authentication methods, allowing teams to query services through AI assistants without building individual MCP servers for each API.
The official Python SDK for Model Context Protocol servers and clients. It allows building MCP clients, servers, and provides tools for interacting with LLMs in a standardized way.
Google today announced that the SDK for its Gemini models will natively support the Model Context Protocol from Anthropic. This move aims to simplify the connection between AI agents and data sources, aligning with the growing popularity of MCP and complementing Google's own Agent2Agent protocol. The company also plans to ease deployment of MCP servers and hosted tools for AI agents.
This course provides an introduction to the Model Context Protocol (MCP), covering its theory, design, and practical application. It includes foundational units, hands-on exercises, use case assignments, and collaboration opportunities. The course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to build AI applications leveraging external data and tools using MCP standards.
