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?

Yes! Use the `translate_video` tool. You must provide the source video URL and the target language code. HeyGen will generate a new version of the video with the translated audio and lip-syncing.

Is the integration secure for creative data?

Absolutely. The integration uses official HeyGen API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.

HeyGen + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating HeyGen MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call HeyGen tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
