Installation Guide

Paste this into your agent to get started:

text
Install HeyGen Skills from https://github.com/heygen-com/skills — clone the repo into your skills directory. Install the HeyGen CLI from https://static.heygen.ai/cli/install.sh and export HEYGEN_API_KEY=<your-key> (get one at https://app.heygen.com/api). Or, if you're on a HeyGen plan and already have MCP connected to your agent, skip the key step — MCP will be used automatically. Then use heygen-avatar and heygen-video to bring yourself to life — create your own avatar and make a short cinematic intro video of yourself introducing who you are. Ask me what you need before starting.

Or follow the steps below manually.

Step 1 — Clone into your skills directory

Detect which agent you are and clone to the right path:

| Agent | Install path |
|-------|-------------|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/heygen-skills |
| OpenClaw | ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/heygen-skills |
| ClawHub | Run clawhub install heygen-skills and skip to Step 2 |
| Other | Clone anywhere your agent loads skills from |

bash
git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/heygen-com/skills.git <install-path>/heygen-skills

Step 2 — Get your HeyGen API key

  • Go to app.heygen.com/api (Settings → API)

  • Generate a new API key

  • Save it somewhere safe — you can't view it again after the modal closes

    • Step 3 — Install the HeyGen CLI

    One-line install (macOS / Linux):

    bash
    curl -fsSL https://static.heygen.ai/cli/install.sh | bash

    Then set your API key:

    bash
    export HEYGEN_API_KEY=<your-key>

    That's ephemeral (current shell only). To persist across sessions, add export HEYGEN_API_KEY=<your-key> to your shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or equivalent).

    Verify:

    bash
    heygen --version
heygen auth status

    The HeyGen CLI is a single static binary. No runtime deps.

    Alternative: MCP (OAuth, no API key)

    If you prefer OAuth and already have a HeyGen plan with credits, connect the remote MCP server instead of setting an API key. The skills will auto-detect MCP when no HEYGEN_API_KEY is set.

    Claude Code:

    bash
    claude mcp add --transport http heygen https://mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/

    OpenClaw: add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

    json
    {
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "heygen": { "url": "https://mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/" }
    }
  }
}

    The first call triggers an OAuth consent flow in your browser.

    Priority: If HEYGEN_API_KEY is set, the skills use the CLI. Otherwise they look for MCP tools. Set the key only if you want direct API access; otherwise use MCP.

    Step 4 — Create your avatar

    Ask the user for a photo (URL or file), then use the heygen-avatar skill:

    Create my HeyGen avatar from this photo: [user's photo]

    The skill uploads the photo, creates a persistent digital twin with a voice, and saves an AVATAR-<NAME>.md file for future use.

    Step 5 — Make your first video

    Use the heygen-video skill to generate an intro video with the avatar you just created:

    Make a 30-60 second video of me introducing myself, casual tone.

    The skill picks up the avatar automatically, writes a script, generates the video, and returns a share link.

    That's it. You're set up. The avatar persists — every future video reuses it automatically.
