At the end of 2025, we introduced managed and remote MCP support for services like Google Maps and BigQuery, establishing a standard method for AI to connect with tools, and effectively creating a universal interface for applications. Today, we are expanding this offering to include PostgreSQL with AlloyDB, Spanner and Cloud SQL, as well as  Firestore and Bigtable for high-performance NoSQL workloads, and introducing a new Developer Knowledge MCP server, which presents an API to connect IDEs to Google\u2019s documentation. These servers run in Google Cloud, providing a secure interface for Gemini and other MCP-compliant clients to easily interact with data and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/en\/introducing-nano-banana-2-in-the-gemini-app\/attachment\/gemini_generated_image_jcq8tgjcq8tgjcq8-max-2600x2600\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24860\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24860\" src=\"https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gemini_Generated_Image_jcq8tgjcq8tgjcq8.max-2600x2600-1-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gemini_Generated_Image_jcq8tgjcq8tgjcq8.max-2600x2600-1-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gemini_Generated_Image_jcq8tgjcq8tgjcq8.max-2600x2600-1-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gemini_Generated_Image_jcq8tgjcq8tgjcq8.max-2600x2600-1-1536x838.png 1536w, https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gemini_Generated_Image_jcq8tgjcq8tgjcq8.max-2600x2600-1-2048x1117.png 2048w, https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Gemini_Generated_Image_jcq8tgjcq8tgjcq8.max-2600x2600-1-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the launch of Gemini 3, developers gained advanced reasoning capabilities to plan, build, and solve complex problems. But for an AI model to function as a useful \"agent,\" it must reliably interact with its environment. Today\u2019s announcement extends these capabilities more broadly to the database tools our customers leverage daily as the backbone of their work environment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To connect your agents to these servers, you don\u2019t need to deploy infrastructure. Just configure the MCP server endpoint in the agent configuration and immediately gain access to your operational data, backed by enterprise-grade auditing, observability and governance.

This allows agents to quickly uncover deep insights (like identifying fraud rings or generating product recommendations) using the MCP tools at its disposal.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQL Server: Developers and database administrators can use the Cloud SQL MCP Server across MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server fleets for natural language interactions with the database, AI-assisted app development, query performance optimization and database troubleshooting via agents.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Bigtable: Bigtable\u2019s flexible schema and high-throughput ingestion capabilities are commonly used for building digital integration hubs and managing time series data. MCP simplifies automating operational workflows and developing agentic customer support, CRM, human resources, IT operations, supply chain and logistics applications with this data.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Firestore: Focused on mobile and web development, the Firestore MCP server enables agents to sync with live document collections. This supports dynamic interactions such as checking user session states or verifying order statuses via natural language prompts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quan_ly_ung_dung_va_co_so_ha_tang\"><\/span><b>Managing applications and infrastructure<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond data retrieval, we are enabling agents to help build and manage applications.

Through a series of natural language instructions in the Gemini CLI, the agent utilizes the Cloud SQL remote MCP server to provision a managed PostgreSQL instance, apply the correct schema, and securely migrate your local data. You don't need to master complex gcloud commands or become a Cloud SQL expert; the agent handles the heavy lifting. This transition is architected in real-time by the Developer Knowledge MCP server, which references official documentation to guide the agent through best practices \u2014 easily upgrading your application's backbone from local storage to a fully managed enterprise database.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/en\/introducing-nano-banana-2-in-the-gemini-app\/attachment\/1_onemcplaunchblogdemo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24859\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24859\" src=\"https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1_onemcplaunchblogdemo.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1_onemcplaunchblogdemo.gif 1280w, https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1_onemcplaunchblogdemo-768x499.gif 768w, https:\/\/gcloudvn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1_onemcplaunchblogdemo-18x12.gif 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ho_tro_cho_cac_dai_ly_ben_thu_ba\"><\/span><b>Support for third-party agents<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because these servers follow the open MCP standard, they also work with your favorite AI agents.
