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 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.
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_videorequests effortlessly.

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
