Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.GEMINI_API_KEYrequiredYour Google Gemini API key.AI Agents Framework with Self Reflection and MCP support
