Frequently asked questions
How do I find my HeyGen API Key?
Log in to your HeyGen account, navigate to User Settings, and select the Developer tab. You will be able to generate and copy your unique API key from there.
How can I generate a video using a template?
First, use list_templates to find the template you want. Then, use the generate_from_template tool by providing the template ID and a JSON string mapping the variables (like text or image URLs) you want to replace.
Can I translate existing videos into other languages?
Yes! Use the translate_video tool. You must provide the source video URL and the target language code. HeyGen will generate a new version of the video with the translated audio and lip-syncing.
Is the integration secure for creative data?
Absolutely. The integration uses official HeyGen API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
