Frequently asked questions
How do I find my api.video API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to the API Keys section in your dashboard, and copy your unique Production API Key.
Can I get a direct player link via AI?
Yes! The get_video_details tool retrieves high-fidelity asset URLs including the player, mp4 source, and thumbnails for any specific video.
How do I check video analytics?
Use the get_video_analytics tool and specify the metric (e.g., 'play') and aggregation (e.g., 'total') to retrieve real-time performance data.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
