LlamaIndex MCP Server Integration

Through `list_generated_videos`, your application pulls a complete historical catalog of renders into LlamaIndex. Your RAG setup embeds these records so you query past projects by semantic meaning. Instead of guessing which layout matches a use case, your agent searches the vector store. It retrieves options originally fetched via `list_video_templates` and answers user queries with hard data.

Context-Aware Video Generation

The `generate_ai_video` tool accepts scripts grounded directly in your internal documents. Your agent reads a PDF, summarizes the core arguments, and passes that exact text to the avatar creation endpoint. Voice selection becomes a data-driven process. The system queries `list_available_voices`, indexes the languages and accents, and matches them to the target audience of your source material.

Asset Indexing

By running `list_available_avatars`, your index ingests the names and visual characteristics of every digital actor. Users ask your application for a professional presenter, and the agent knows exactly who to select. You upload custom files using `upload_media_asset`. The system tracks these assets, allowing your RAG setup to reference specific image IDs when building the final scene via the MCP integration.

Setup guide

Set up HeyGen MCP in LlamaIndex

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all HeyGen MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to HeyGen tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent HeyGen data")

Common questions about HeyGen MCP in LlamaIndex

You connect the MCP Server and pass the resulting tools to your function agent. The agent fetches the data and adds it to your searchable index.

They don't delete anything automatically. They execute the removal tool when a user explicitly asks to drop an outdated render from the system.

The server handles credentials internally. You provide a single endpoint token when initializing the client.

You instruct your agent to fetch the template list and store it. Once indexed, users search for designs using natural language.

This server processes your PDF summaries and avatar IDs. Your endpoint token operates in an ephemeral environment, meaning no files remain after the session closes.
