How to Use the HeyGen MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can I index my HeyGen templates directly inside LlamaIndex?

Yes. You can query your templates using listtemplates and vector-index their metadata. This lets your agent run semantic search queries to find the correct design layout.

Q: How does LlamaIndex verify which variables a HeyGen template requires?

The agent uses gettemplatedetails to read the exact schema of a template. This schema is indexed alongside the document, ensuring your generation payloads are always formatted correctly.

Q: Does the HeyGen MCP Server support querying past video runs in LlamaIndex?

Yes. By calling listvideos, your agent retrieves historical render logs and indexes them. This prevents redundant generation runs by checking if a matching video already exists.

Q: How can I check if my API account has enough credits for a run?

Use the getapiprofile tool to check your current credit balance. Your agent can query this tool before initiating a render to ensure your account has sufficient funds.

Index your HeyGen templates, avatars, and video logs into LlamaIndex to build video generation pipelines grounded in your data.

Indexing HeyGen templates in LlamaIndex

The `list_templates` tool pulls your entire catalog of video designs directly into your index. LlamaIndex stores these template layouts as documents, allowing your query engine to find the exact layout needed for a specific video request. Your agent inspects variables using `get_template_details` to verify which placeholders must be filled. By running this through an MCP Server, you feed live structural metadata directly into your vector store for accurate retrieval.

Querying historical video runs

The `list_videos` tool exposes your entire history of completed renders to your knowledge base. Your agent queries this history to verify past runs, track render frequencies, or retrieve older video links without duplicate API calls. Checking your interactive sessions is just as straightforward with `list_streaming_history`. This logs previous streaming runs, giving your RAG application a clear audit trail of past user interactions.

Dynamic video generation and tracking

The `generate_from_template` tool initiates a new render using the parameters retrieved from your vector search. Connecting via MCP ensures that your agent constructs video inputs using real, indexed data rather than guessing template structures. Monitoring the rendering queue is handled by `get_video_status` in real time. Once the video is ready, the agent indexes the fresh video URL back into your document store for future queries.

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")
