AI Educational Video Generator

Transform any topic into a short explainer video with AI narration and 3Blue1Brown-style animations.

LEAP MCP Demo

Quick Start

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.8-3.11
• OpenAI API key - Create account and get API key
• Claude Code - Download and install

Note: Currently supports Claude Code only. Support for Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP clients planned for future releases.

git clone https://github.com/sid-thephysicskid/leap-mcp
cd leap-mcp
python setup.py

The setup will ask for your OpenAI API key. If you skip it, manually add it to .env:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add: OPENAI_API_KEY=your_actual_key_here

Next steps:

1. Start Claude Code: claude
2. In Claude Code chat, type /mcp - you should see leap-mcp connected
3. If not connected, restart Claude Code and try /mcp again
4. Start creating videos:

Create an educational video about black holes

Features

Videos - 2-minute structure: Hook → Phenomenon → Mechanism → Synthesis AI Narration - 6 natural voices powered by OpenAI Animations - Manim engine (same as 3Blue1Brown) Any Topic - From quantum physics to cooking recipes

Examples

Create a video about the French Revolution for high schoolers
Make a video about Vincent van Gogh's painting techniques
Create a video explaining cryptocurrency to my grandmother
Make a video explaining MCP servers

Voices: nova (default) • alloy • echo • fable • shimmer • onyx

Troubleshooting

Python 3.13? Manim's packages don't support Python 3.13+ supported yet - use 3.8-3.11 Connection issues? Restart Claude Code, run /mcp API errors? Check OpenAI key in .env file

Contributing

Good First Issues:

• [ ] Add Cursor/Windsurf/Qwen Agent support
• [ ] Create subject or domain specific templates (history, art, business, financial reports etc.)
• [ ] Improve error messages and debugging
• [ ] Add video quality/resolution options
