Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right avatar for my video?
Use the list_available_avatars tool to browse all options. Your agent will provide the names and unique avatar_id for each character, which you can then use in your generation requests.
Can I generate a video without specifying an avatar or voice?
Yes! Use the generate_from_prompt tool (Video Agent). Simply describe what you want, and HeyGen will automatically select the best-matching avatar and voice for your content.
Is it possible to automate personalized videos for multiple customers?
Absolutely. Use the create_from_template tool by providing a templateId and a set of variables. Your AI agent can iterate through your customer list and trigger unique videos for each person.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
