HeyGen tools for your AI agents
70 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect HeyGen, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.
No tools match your search.
Questions, answered
How do I connect HeyGen to Claude?
Connect HeyGen in Elaichi first, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. HeyGen connects with an API key, so the HeyGen step is copying a key from your HeyGen account settings and pasting it into Elaichi. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate.
Does HeyGen work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once HeyGen is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect HeyGen once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my HeyGen data?
An agent can list your HeyGen avatars, looks, voices, brand kits, and brand glossaries, create or update an avatar look, generate speech from a script in one of your voices, and create, message, or stop a HeyGen video agent. Because HeyGen exposes many actions, short concrete asks such as "list our avatars" or "read this script in the Sarah voice" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting HeyGen give the AI everything in my HeyGen workspace?
No. Every request runs under the HeyGen API key of the person who connected it, so the agent can only see the avatars, voices, and brand assets that account can already see. Elaichi can narrow that further by restricting specific actions, and it can never widen access beyond what HeyGen itself allows that account.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in HeyGen?
Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict individual HeyGen actions, for example deleting an avatar or a look, while leaving listing and speech generation available. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a HeyGen connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to HeyGen through every client at once. If they had shared a HeyGen connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else on that team. Disconnecting HeyGen once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client in one step.
Does the HeyGen MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. HeyGen is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for HeyGen?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use HeyGen. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every HeyGen call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for HeyGen?
Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to HeyGen: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
Put HeyGen in front of your team
14 days of Black, no credit card. Connect it once and pick what each team can call.
When the trial ends, nothing is deleted. You move to the free Personal plan, and connections, roles and the audit log stay where they are.
