Frequently asked questions about the HeyGen MCP Server

How do I find my HeyGen API Key?

Log in to your HeyGen account, navigate to User Settings, and select the Developer tab. You will be able to generate and copy your unique API key from there.

How can I generate a video using a template?

First, use list_templates to find the template you want. Then, use the generate_from_template tool by providing the template ID and a JSON string mapping the variables (like text or image URLs) you want to replace.

Can I translate existing videos into other languages?
