Question 1

Can I customize avatars and voices via ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Specify avatar, voice, language, background, pacing, and subtitles in your prompt or parameters. Availability depends on your account features.

Question 2

What is HeyGen MCP for ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

It is an integration that lets a Model Context Protocol (MCP) client use ChatGPT to call HeyGen APIs. You can create and manage AI video tasks—like avatar videos, scripts, and languages—directly from a chat workflow.

Question 3

How do I set up the HeyGen connector?

Accepted Answer

Use an MCP-compatible client, install or enable the HeyGen tool, add your HeyGen API key, and run a quick test command to verify connectivity. Refer to your MCP client and HeyGen API docs for exact steps.

Question 4

Can I create videos from ChatGPT prompts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Provide a script, choose an avatar and voice, set language and aspect ratio, then submit the job. The tool returns status updates and a download link when rendering is complete.

Question 5

What are the main benefits of using this integration?

Accepted Answer

Fewer context switches, faster iteration, consistent prompts, and traceable job history. You can refine scripts and regenerate videos within the same conversation.

Question 6

Which plans are supported?

Accepted Answer

You need a HeyGen account with API access. Some features may require paid plans. Check your HeyGen subscription for API limits and entitlements.

Question 7

What formats, languages, and avatars are available?

Accepted Answer

Output is typically MP4 with common resolutions. You can select from multiple languages, voices, and avatar styles. Exact options depend on your HeyGen plan and current catalog.

Question 8

How is my data secured?

Accepted Answer

Your API key is configured in the MCP client or its secure store. Requests go to HeyGen over standard HTTPS. Review your client and HeyGen privacy, retention, and security policies.

Question 9

What if the connection fails during generation?

Accepted Answer

Check your API key, network, and rate limits. Retry the request or resume using the job ID if supported. Review error messages from the tool for specific fixes.

Question 10

How much does it cost to use the connector?

Accepted Answer

There is no extra fee for the integration itself in most MCP setups. You pay for HeyGen API usage per your plan and any subscription costs for your MCP client.
