How long does video rendering take?

The `create_avatar_video` command submits the job instantly. Rendering typically takes 2–10 minutes depending on length. Use `get_video_details` to check progress and retrieve the final URL.

Can I use my custom avatars?

Yes. The `list_avatars` tool returns both stock and custom avatars tied to your account. You can use any avatar ID when creating videos.

Which Synthesia plan is required?

API access requires a Creator or Enterprise plan. Free and Starter plans do not include API keys. Check the Integrations tab in your Synthesia dashboard to verify eligibility.

About Synthesia MCP Server

Bring the full power of synthetic enterprise video generation directly into your conversational environment with the Synthesia MCP connector. By granting your LLM authorized operational access to the Synthesia API matrix, you transform your assistant into a virtual studio director. Programmatically retrieve active templates, inspect available voice models, spawn new avatar streams from zero, or dub existing media seamlessly without navigating away from your terminal interface.

Google ADK natively supports Synthesia as an MCP tool provider — declare the Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 10 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.

What you can do

Virtual Directing — Instantiate real-time video renderings using create_avatar_video, mapping structural inputs to specific avatar matrices found via list_avatars.
Template Automation — Process repetitive layouts logically calling create_video_from_template, assigning JSON payloads seamlessly over defined blueprints.
Studio Lifecycle Management — Query active rendering progress cleanly with get_video_details and prune discarded tracks strictly invoking delete_video.
Localization & Dubbing — Effortlessly pull native voice ranges (list_voices) and trigger AI localized dubbing routines targeting existing records utilizing dub_video.

The Synthesia MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Synthesia + Google ADK FAQ

Common questions about integrating Synthesia MCP Server with Google ADK.

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
