A Step-by-Step Coding Guide to Defining Custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and Client Tools with FastMCP and Integrating Them into Google Gemini 2.0’s Function‑Calling Workflow

In this Colab‑ready tutorial, we demonstrate how to integrate Google’s Gemini 2.0 generative AI with an in‑process Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, using FastMCP. Starting with an interactive getpass prompt to capture your GEMINI_API_KEY securely, we install and configure all necessary dependencies: the google‑genai Python client for calling the Gemini API, fastmcp for defining and…

Microsoft AI Research Introduces MVoT: A Multimodal Framework for Integrating Visual and Verbal Reasoning in Complex Tasks

The study of artificial intelligence has witnessed transformative developments in reasoning and understanding complex tasks. The most innovative developments are large language models (LLMs) and multimodal large language models (MLLMs). These systems can process textual and visual data, allowing them to analyze intricate tasks. Unlike traditional approaches that base their reasoning skills on verbal means,…
