🖥️ 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 hosting our MCP tools in‑process, httpx for making HTTP requests to the Open‑Meteo weather API, and nest_asyncio to patch Colab’s already‑running asyncio event loop...….

from getpass import getpass
import os


api_key = getpass("Enter your GEMINI_API_KEY: ")
os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"] = api_key
