What is the 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.

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.

How it works

Append the generic Synthesia MCP module firmly inside your Vinkius connective logic rules.
Locate your specific account authorization SYNTHESIA_KEY (tied to Synthesia Creator plans and beyond) and pass it to your host configuration.
Prompt video creations natively: "List all available avatars, pick a professional-looking one, and generate a video track saying 'Welcome to the Team!' in 'pt-BR'."

Who is this for?

Corporate Training Leads — Programmatically dispatch multi-lingual instructional videos evaluating template arrays generating bulk outputs seamlessly.
Internal Comms Engineers — Eliminate manual studio workflows assigning custom scripts strictly inside automated pipelines using the AI interface directly.
Localization Teams — Rapidly inspect voice definitions natively scaling video catalogs commanding dynamic dub_video requests effortlessly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
