FAQ
Frequently asked questions
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, 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 blocking 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 block individual HeyGen actions, for example deleting an avatar or a look, while leaving listing and speech generation available. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client at all, so no prompt can reach it.
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, and every other client in one step.
