Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http chalktalk 'https://chalktalk.dev/api/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"chalktalk": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://chalktalk.dev/api/mcp"

ChalkTalk
Turn a conversation into a narrated tutorial video - without leaving your editor.
ChalkTalk writes the video as a structured document: scenes for code, diagrams, charts, CLI sessions, and maths, each with its own narration. Ask for a walkthrough of the function you just wrote and it drafts the scenes, checks them, and renders preview frames it can actually look at. You review and export in ChalkTalk.
Install
| Client | How |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Plugin - two commands below |
| Codex | Two CLI commands below |
| Cursor, VS Code | One click from the install page |
| Claude Desktop, claude.ai, mobile | Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → server URL |
| ChatGPT | Settings → Security and login → Developer mode, then Plugins → + → Public endpoint → server URL |
| Windsurf, Antigravity | Config snippet below |
| Anything else | The install page has a prompt you can paste into your own agent |
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add chalktalkhq/plugins
/plugin install chalktalk@chalktalk-plugins
Then run /mcp to sign in.
Codex
codex mcp add chalktalk --url https://chalktalk.dev/api/mcp
codex mcp login chalktalk
Windsurf, Antigravity - merge into your MCP config. Windsurf keeps it at
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json; Antigravity exposes it under
MCP Servers → Manage MCP Servers → View raw config.
{
"mcpServers": {
"chalktalk": {
"serverUrl": "https://chalktalk.dev/api/mcp"
}
}

Server URL, for anything that just asks for one:
https://chalktalk.dev/api/mcp
No API key. You sign in once in the browser on the first tool call.
Try it
- "Make a 90-second video explaining this pull request."
- "Turn this function into a code walkthrough with narration."
- "Start from the binary search template and show me the first scene."
- "Check my project for pacing problems and show me frame 3."
What it can do
| Author | Create, update, duplicate, and delete video projects |
| Explore | Search and fetch your projects and the template catalogue |
| Check | Validate structure, report pacing and writing problems |
| See | Render preview frames the agent can inspect before you commit |
| Narrate | Generate voiceover from narration you have approved |
Rendering runs in ChalkTalk rather than over the connector, so you review the video before spending render time on it.
