How to Use the HeyGen MCP in Windsurf
Use the HeyGen MCP Server in Windsurf to automate avatar video creation directly from your editor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect HeyGen MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect HeyGen to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate video production in Windsurf
Stop jumping between your browser and your code. Cascade uses `list_available_avatars` and `list_available_voices` to pull your assets directly into the editor. Once you pick your assets, it triggers `generate_ai_video` to render your output without you leaving the workspace.
Monitor renders without context switching
Keep track of your projects using `list_generated_videos` to see what you have already finished. You do not need to check a dashboard. If you need to know if a file is ready, call `get_video_progress`. Cascade handles the polling so you stay focused on your actual code.
Manage your HeyGen media pipeline
Use `upload_media_asset` to push local files to the server for use in your templates. It makes managing external assets for your videos trivial. When a project is finished, you can clean up your workspace using `remove_video_record`. It keeps your account organized and your history clean.
