## Prerequisites

## Setup

### 1. Register the Connector

Navigate to **+** → **Connector** → **Manage Connector** → **+ Add custom connector**.

Set the connector name to `HeyGen` and provide the following remote MCP server URL:

### 3. Configure Permissions (Optional)

To avoid repeated permission prompts, set the HeyGen connector permissions to **Always Allow**.

## Usage

Open a new Claude chat and provide a video generation prompt. Example:

```text theme={null}
Generate a video using HeyGen MCP about the difference between Skills and MCP.
```

Claude will handle avatar selection, script generation, and video rendering via the HeyGen API. Completed videos are also accessible from the **Projects** page in your HeyGen dashboard.
