Improve coding agents’ performance with Gemini API Docs MCP and Agent Skills.

Agents can generate outdated Gemini API code because their training data has a cutoff date. We built two complementary tools to fix this.

The Gemini API Docs MCP (https://gemini-api-docs-mcp.dev) connects your coding agent to the current Gemini API documentation, SDKs and model information via the Model Context Protocol. This ensures that your coding agent has access to the most up-to-date APIs and code and builds with the most optimal configuration settings.

The Gemini API Developer Skills adds best-practice instructions, resources-links and patterns to guide the agent toward current SDK patterns.

While each tool independently improves your workflow, using them together unlocks their full potential. Our evals show that combining MCP and Skills leads to a 96.3% pass rate on our eval set, with 63% fewer tokens per correct answer compared to vanilla prompting.
