Building Your Own MCP Server with ADK // TRAIN BRAIN

Building Your Own MCP Server with ADK

This video, the second in our series, guides you through building your own MCP server with ADK. Learn about the core components needed, from the `mcp` library to server handlers, to make your ADK tools discoverable. We explore three distinct use cases: building a simple API MCP server, a database MCP server using the MCP Toolbox, and custom MCP servers for advanced scenarios. This helps transition isolated agents into a truly interconnected AI ecosystem.
