Overview

AI-generated overview

ChalkTalk is a remote MCP server that lets an AI assistant draft, check and preview narrated tutorial videos as structured scene documents.

What you can do
Create, update, duplicate and delete video projects, and search or fetch your projects and the template catalogue. Validate scene structure and get reports on pacing and writing problems. Render preview frames the assistant can inspect before you commit. Generate voiceover from narration you have approved. Rendering itself runs in ChalkTalk, so you review and export the video there.
When to use it
Useful when you want a walkthrough of code, a pull request or a diagram turned into a narrated tutorial video without leaving your editor, and you want the assistant to draft and check scenes before rendering.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at chalktalk.dev added as a custom connector or MCP server URL in a supported client (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, mobile, ChatGPT, Windsurf, Antigravity or another agent). OAuth sign-in in the browser on the first tool call; no API key or environment variables.
Before you install
Sign-in is OAuth and required; you authorize the connector in a browser. The assistant can create, update, duplicate and delete video projects, so review destructive actions. Voiceover generation and rendering consume ChalkTalk render time and are done in the ChalkTalk app, not over the connector.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ChalkTalk in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.chalktalkhq%2Fchalktalk/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

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.

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/mcpcodex 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.

json
{  "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 server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.
