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:
- Start Claude Code:
claude - In Claude Code chat, type
/mcp- you should seeleap-mcpconnected - If not connected, restart Claude Code and try
/mcpagain - 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:
