FAQ from YouTube Search Assistant with ADK, MCP and Gemma 3
What are the runtime requirements?
Python 3.9+, Ollama installed with the Gemma 3 model, and a SERP API key for YouTube search.
How do I set up the SERP API key?
Create a .env file in the project root directory with the line SERP_API_KEY=your_serp_api_key_here.
What if the model doesn’t use tools properly?
Ensure your query clearly requires external information. You can also try making the tool description more explicit in the agent configuration.
What should I do if I encounter a LiteLLM/Ollama KeyError?
This is a known bug caused by Ollama’s JSON format responses and LiteLLM’s parsing. Workarounds include manually patching LiteLLM with the changes from PR #9966 or avoiding format=json in requests.
What if I have memory constraints?
The 12B model requires significant RAM/VRAM. Consider using a smaller model like gemma3:7b or gemma3:1b if you experience memory issues.
