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.

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 10 tools from Synthesia through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns — chain multiple agents where one queries Synthesia, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through the Vinkius.

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 OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
