Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations tab. 2. Search for Heyzine and click Connect. 3. You'll be prompted to paste an API key — get yours from the Heyzine dashboard under Account > API Settings. 4. Copy the key and paste it into Switchy, then click Authorize. 5. Switchy confirms the connection and lists the tools now available. 6. Open any Space, type '@Heyzine create a flipbook from [your document URL]' and send. 7. Heyzine returns a flipbook link or a job ID if the file is large; for async jobs, ask '@Heyzine check the status of job [ID]' until conversion completes. 8. Once ready, request the embed code with '@Heyzine get embed code for flipbook [ID]' to drop the iframe into your site.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Heyzine are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

@heyzine list all flipbooks in my account and show me which ones were created in the last 30 days
I've retrieved your flipbook library. You have 12 flipbooks total. In the last 30 days, you created 4 new flipbooks: 'Q4 Product Roadmap' (created Dec 15), 'Employee Onboarding Guide v2' (Dec 8), 'Holiday Campaign Lookbook' (Dec 3), and 'Sales Deck - Enterprise' (Nov 28). The remaining 8 flipbooks are older, with the earliest dating back to August. Each entry includes the flipbook ID, title, creation date, and current status.
This example demonstrates the read-heavy list tool combined with AI filtering. The MCP returns raw flipbook metadata; the AI applies the date logic. Requires valid API key authentication. Note that large accounts with hundreds of flipbooks may hit pagination limits or slow response times.
@heyzine convert this PDF link into a flipbook: https://example.com/whitepaper.pdf and give me the shareable URL
I've successfully converted your PDF into a flipbook using the synchronous creation tool. The flipbook is now live at: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/abc123xyz. This URL is publicly shareable and mobile-responsive. The conversion processed 24 pages in approximately 8 seconds. You can embed this flipbook on your website using the embed code tool, or delete it later if needed.
This showcases the core write action: PDF-to-flipbook conversion. The synchronous tool works well for documents under ~50 pages; larger files should use the asynchronous tool to avoid timeouts. The MCP creates a permanent flipbook in your account—deletion requires a separate API call. Ensure the source PDF URL is publicly accessible.
@heyzine check my API usage limits and let me know if I'm close to hitting any caps before I batch-convert 20 presentations
I've checked your current API limits. Your plan allows 500 flipbook creations per month, and you've used 387 so far—leaving 113 conversions available. Your batch of 20 presentations will fit comfortably within this limit, leaving 93 conversions for the rest of the month. Rate limits are set at 10 requests per minute. For batch processing, I recommend spacing the conversions by 6-8 seconds each to stay under the rate threshold and avoid 429 errors.
This example pairs the API limits tool with proactive planning—useful before bulk operations. The MCP returns raw quota numbers; the AI calculates headroom and suggests pacing strategy. Limits vary by Heyzine plan tier. Always check limits before scripting large batch jobs to avoid mid-run failures or account throttling.
Use-case deep-dives
When Heyzine beats static PDFs for board updates
A 6-person startup sends monthly investor updates as PDFs. The CFO wants engagement metrics (who opened, how long they read) and a cleaner mobile experience than Dropbox links. Heyzine's Create Flipbook Link tool converts the deck in seconds, and the embed code goes straight into the investor portal. The Get Flipbook List tool lets the CFO audit old decks before board meetings. This works if you send fewer than 50 decks a month and your investors tolerate a third-party viewer. If you need granular page-level analytics or white-label branding, Heyzine's API limits (check with Get API Limits) may push you toward a dedicated investor-relations platform. For most seed-stage teams, the flipbook format and basic tracking justify the API key setup.
Heyzine for one-click case study publishing
A 12-person B2B SaaS sales team maintains 30 case studies as PDFs in Google Drive. The VP of Sales wants them embedded on the website with no dev work. The Create Flipbook Sync tool converts each PDF to a flipbook, and Get Flipbook Embed Code drops the iframe into the CMS. The Delete Flipbook tool cleans up outdated versions when a customer churns. This scenario wins if your case studies are already designed PDFs and your site supports iframe embeds. If you're generating case studies from scratch or need A/B testing on layouts, a headless CMS or Notion-to-web tool is faster. Heyzine shines when the design is done and you need public-facing, mobile-friendly hosting with minimal friction.
When async flipbook creation handles large onboarding docs
A 25-person customer success team onboards new hires with a 120-page DOCX handbook. The training lead wants a mobile-friendly version that doesn't require Zoom screen-shares. The Create Flipbook Asynchronously tool converts the handbook off-thread while the lead preps other materials, then polls for the conversion state. The Get Flipbook ID Tool confirms the flipbook is live before sending the link to new hires. This works if your handbook is under 200 pages and updates quarterly, not weekly. If you're iterating on training content daily or need version control, a wiki or Notion workspace is more maintainable. Heyzine fits teams that treat onboarding docs as stable artifacts and want a polished, no-install reading experience.
Frequently asked
What does the Heyzine MCP do in Switchy?
It converts PDFs, DOCX, and PPTX files into interactive flipbooks directly from your Switchy workspace. The MCP handles both synchronous conversions (instant results for smaller files) and asynchronous jobs (for large documents that need background processing). You can create, delete, list, and retrieve embed codes for flipbooks without leaving Switchy.
Do I need a Heyzine account to use this MCP?
Yes. You need an active Heyzine account and an API key from your Heyzine dashboard. The MCP authenticates using that key, so whoever connects it must have access to the account's API credentials. Heyzine's rate limits apply to the connected account — check them with the Get API Limits tool if conversions start failing.
Can the Heyzine MCP edit flipbooks after they're created?
No. The MCP creates and deletes flipbooks but doesn't modify existing ones. If you need to change a flipbook's content or settings, delete it via the MCP and create a new version, or log into Heyzine directly to use their editor. The MCP is for programmatic creation and retrieval, not interactive editing.
Why use this MCP instead of uploading files to Heyzine manually?
The MCP automates batch conversions and integrates flipbook creation into your team's workflows. If you're generating flipbooks from documents stored in other MCPs (Google Drive, Notion exports), the Heyzine MCP lets you script the entire pipeline in Switchy. Manual uploads make sense for one-off projects; the MCP is for repeatable processes.
Who on the team should connect the Heyzine MCP?
Whoever manages your Heyzine account and has access to its API key. That person's rate limits and flipbook quota apply to all conversions run through Switchy, so coordinate with your team to avoid hitting Heyzine's caps. If multiple people need to create flipbooks, share the Switchy workspace rather than connecting separate Heyzine accounts.
