**Speaker:** Smitha Kolan, Senior Developer Relations Engineer at Google Cloud

The era of isolated LLMs is over. To become truly productive, modern AI agents must securely access real-time data and execute actions on external systems. **This 1-hour session provides a complete guide to building and deploying this advanced pattern: connecting an ADK Agent to external capabilities via the MCP Server, all running on the highly scalable and serverless platform, Google Cloud Run.**

We'll take you through the entire lifecycle, from setting up the environment to containerizing both the ADK Agent (the client) and the MCP Server (the tool provider). **You'll learn how to** leverage MCP to standardize how your agent requests external tools and data, transforming it from a simple chatbot into a powerful, action-taking entity.

**Key Takeaways**
Attendees will walk away with the practical ability to:
**\- Understand the MCP Architecture:** Grasp the roles of the ADK Agent (client) and the MCP Server (tool/context provider) in enabling agentic AI.
**\- Containerize for Serverless:** Prepare and containerize complex, multi-component systems (the ADK Agent and MCP Server) for deployment on Cloud Run.
**\- Ensure Secure Communication:** Configure service-to-service communication on Cloud Run, ensuring the ADK Agent securely connects to the MCP Server.
**\- Implement Serverless Scaling:** Utilize Cloud Run's autoscaling to handle variable load on your agent architecture, minimizing idle costs while ensuring high availability.
