Frequently asked questions
Can I see all available AI avatars via AI?
Yes! Use the list_avatars tool. Your agent will retrieve the complete directory of stock avatars available in Synthesia for your videos.
How do I check the status of a video being processed?
Run the get_video_details query with your Video ID. The agent will retrieve the real-time status (e.g., in_progress, completed) and the final download link if ready.
Is it possible to generate a video using a custom template?
Absolutely. Use the create_video_from_template tool. Provide the Template ID and a JSON object with the data for your dynamic variables to trigger the generation.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
