```

Python:

```python
import os

import httpx

response = httpx.post(
    "https://api.voxoria.ai/v1/tools/google.serp.videos/calls",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['VOXORIA_API_KEY']}"},
    json={
        "input": {"query": "how to change a bike tyre", "country": "gb"},
    },
    timeout=60,
)
print(response.json())
```

TypeScript:

```ts
const response = await fetch("https://api.voxoria.ai/v1/tools/google.serp.videos/calls", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.VOXORIA_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "input": {"query": "how to change a bike tyre", "country": "gb"},
  }),
});
console.log(await response.json());
```

MCP (`tools/call` params):

```json
{
  "name": "call_tool",
  "arguments": {
    "tool": "google.serp.videos",
    "input": {
      "query": "how to change a bike tyre",
      "country": "gb"
    }
  }
}
