How to Use the HeyGen MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Mastra AI handle HeyGen rendering timeouts?

Mastra AI uses its built-in workflow engine to poll getvideoprogress. If a render takes too long, the workflow catches the timeout and executes a retry or alerts your team.

Q: Can I use Mastra AI workflows to update HeyGen video templates dynamically?

Yes, you can use listvideotemplates to fetch your designs, let the Mastra agent select the right layout, and then call createfromtemplate with new text.

Q: Can I upload custom voice tracks in a Mastra workflow?

Yes, you use uploadmediaasset to send your custom audio files to the server. The Mastra agent can then reference that asset ID when calling the video generation tools.

Build Mastra AI workflows that automatically generate HeyGen video updates, handle rendering retries, and clean up past files.

Automated Video Generation Workflows in Mastra AI

The `generate_ai_video` tool lets your Mastra AI agent trigger high-resolution video renders as part of a multi-step background workflow. If a rendering job fails due to network hiccups, Mastra's built-in retry engine automatically resubmits the payload. This MCP Server integration allows you to chain steps together without writing complex error-handling code. Your workflow can check the system status using `get_api_status` before committing expensive rendering credits.

Dynamic Template Selection with Branching Logic

The `list_video_templates` tool lets Mastra AI scan your available layouts and decide which template fits the current workflow context. If the input data is a product update, the agent branches to a specific marketing template; if it's a support ticket, it selects a help template. Once selected, the agent executes `create_from_template` to generate the customized video. Mastra's workflow engine manages this entire sequence, passing variables from step to step without losing state.

Automated Asset Cleanup and Record Keeping

The `remove_video_record` tool gives your Mastra AI agents the power to maintain strict data hygiene by deleting processed videos. After verifying that a video has been successfully delivered, the agent removes the record using the MCP Server. You can also run `list_generated_videos` to audit your library and identify old files that are no longer needed. The agent handles the cleanup loop autonomously, ensuring your storage footprint remains small and organized.

Setup guide

Set up HeyGen MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All HeyGen tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "heygen-alternative-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "heygen-alternative-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "HeyGen Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to HeyGen tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent HeyGen transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
