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

ClientHow
Claude CodePlugin - two commands below

Windsurf, AntigravityConfig snippet below
Anything elseThe 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

AuthorCreate, update, duplicate, and delete video projects
ExploreSearch and fetch your projects and the template catalogue
CheckValidate structure, report pacing and writing problems
SeeRender preview frames the agent can inspect before you commit
NarrateGenerate 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.

This repo is generated from the ChalkTalk app repo - open an issue rather than a pull request against these files.

Frequently asked questions

What is ChalkTalk?

Create tutorial videos by chatting with AI.

How do I install ChalkTalk?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http chalktalk 'https://chalktalk.dev/api/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does ChalkTalk need an API key?

Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.

Is ChalkTalk open source?

Its code is public on GitHub, but the repository does not declare a standard license.

Who maintains ChalkTalk?

It is published by chalktalkhq. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
