AI avatar video, AI video generation and video translation with editable translation scripts. A hosted MCP server (OAuth, no API key) lets AI agents create videos, billed against the HeyGen plan's credits.
HeyGen lists Free ($0, up to 3 videos a month), Creator ($29/month or $24 billed annually, 600 credits), Pro ($49/month, 1,000 credits), Business ($149/month plus $20 per extra seat) and Enterprise. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗
HeyGen's remote MCP server (mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/) uses OAuth instead of an API key and bills against your existing plan's credits. HeyGen names Claude and Cursor among compatible agents. source ↗
How HeyGen connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | Confirmed Claude web and Claude Code HeyGen docs ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) MCP docs ↗ | Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; HeyGen publishes an API. Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗ | Confirmed Claude Code with the Claude in Chrome extension (Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers) Claude (incl. Claude Code) browser docs ↗ | Confirmed Export from HeyGen, then works on the files in your project; chat accepts attachments Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗ |
| OpenAI Codex | Not documented HeyGen has an official MCP server and OpenAI Codex supports MCP, but HeyGen's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ.

| Google Antigravity | Not documented HeyGen has an official MCP server and Google Antigravity supports MCP, but HeyGen's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
