Synthesia MCP

ChatGPT connector

Connect Synthesia to ChatGPT and create videos from a conversation.

Synthesia is listed in the ChatGPT marketplace, so you don’t need Developer Mode. Make sure you meet the prerequisites first.

Connect a personal account

  1. Open ChatGPT and select Plugins in the sidebar. Depending on your account, you may find it under Settings → Apps instead.

  2. Search for Synthesia and select the + button next to it (or Install plugin or Connect, depending on your account).

    The ChatGPT Plugins page with Synthesia searched and the Synthesia plugin listed with a plus button

  3. Sign in to your Synthesia account, review the requested permissions, and select Allow access.

  4. Confirm you can tag Synthesia in a message box, then try a prompt using it.

Connect as a workspace member

Use these steps if you’re joining a workspace where an admin has already enabled Synthesia.

  1. Open ChatGPT and go to Settings → Apps (or Plugins).
  2. Find Synthesia and select Connect.
  3. Sign in to your Synthesia account and review the requested permissions.
  4. Confirm you can tag Synthesia in a message box, then try a prompt using it.

On ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspaces, admins control whether Synthesia is enabled by default. If Synthesia doesn’t appear or shows Disabled by admin, ask your workspace admin to enable it from Workspace settings → Apps.

Turn on Synthesia in a chat

  1. Start a new chat.
  2. Tag Synthesia in the message box.
  3. Ask for a video. To create a Syren video, include “use Syren” in your prompt.
The ChatGPT message box with Synthesia tagged at the start of a prompt asking for a 60-second launch video

Next, see Create a video draft or Create and edit a Syren video.

Refresh the plugin

If we update the server’s tool list or descriptions, ChatGPT may keep showing the old list. Ask your workspace admin to refresh the plugin:

  1. Go to Settings → Plugins → Synthesia → Actions.
  2. Select Refresh.
