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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Synthesia tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Virtual Directing — Instantiate real-time video renderings using
create_avatar_video, mapping structural inputs to specific avatar matrices found vialist_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_detailsand prune discarded tracks strictly invokingdelete_video. - Localization & Dubbing — Effortlessly pull native voice ranges (
list_voices) and trigger AI localized dubbing routines targeting existing records utilizingdub_video.
The Synthesia MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
