Text-to-Speech (HeyGen Starfish)

Generate speech audio files from text using HeyGen's in-house Starfish TTS model via the v3 API. This skill is for standalone audio generation — separate from video creation.

Authentication

All requests require the X-Api-Key header. Set the HEYGEN_API_KEY environment variable.

curl -X GET "https://api.heygen.com/v3/voices?engine=starfish" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $HEYGEN_API_KEY"

Tool Selection

If HeyGen MCP tools are available (mcp__heygen__*), prefer them over direct HTTP API calls.
