Explain by Scrimba — Agent Plugin

Connects your agent to Explain by Scrimba: ask your agent to explain anything — a concept, a document, a process, a codebase, an architecture, a git branch or PR — and a narrated slideshow is generated with animations, diagrams, maths, images, code diffs, and more, rendered live at a shareable scrimba.com link.

Try prompts like:

  • "Turn my study notes into a video"
  • "Explain how OAuth works, with diagrams"
  • "Make a video walkthrough of this PR for my colleague"

Install

$Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add scrimba/explainer-mcp-plugin
/plugin install scrimba-explain@scrimba

Other agents

One command that installs into every agent tool it finds on your machine (Cursor, Codex, Copilot CLI, VS Code, …):

npx plugins add scrimba/explainer-mcp-plugin

Cursor Marketplace

Coming; not yet listed. Until then use the command above, or clone this repo and add it via Customize → Plugins → + Add → From Local Repo.

Plain MCP

No plugin needed: add https://scrimba.com/mcp/explain (Streamable HTTP, no auth) to any MCP client. Same tools, minus the bundled skill.

What's in the plugin

A remote MCP server with four tools (start_explainer_stream / append_explainer_chunk / finish_explainer_stream, plus create_playlist for courses) and a skill that tells the agent when to use them. The repo carries both agent-plugins.org and Claude Code manifests, so it loads natively in either ecosystem.
