# Make demo videos from Claude or ChatGPT: the Demosmith MCP

Markdown version of https://demosmith.ai/mcp for AI assistants and other readers.
Last updated: 2026-11-11.

Ask the way you'd ask a teammate: "make a demo of our new onboarding."
Demosmith opens your product, clicks through it and sends the finished video
back to your chat, with a voiceover and captions. It works with Claude,
ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, on every paid Demosmith plan.

## Can ChatGPT and Claude make videos?

On their own, ChatGPT and Claude can write you a demo script, but they can't
open your product and record it. Connect Demosmith and they hand back the
finished, narrated video of your real product instead.

## How it works

1. **Connect Demosmith once.** Add it to Claude, ChatGPT or your coding agent
   and sign in.
2. **Ask for the demo you need.** Your assistant already knows your product, so
   say what to show: "our onboarding", "the feature we shipped today" or
   "the same demo in Spanish".
3. **Get the video in your chat.** Demosmith records your product, edits it and
   adds a voiceover. The finished video comes back with a link to watch or
   download.

A free check runs before every demo. If your product needs a password or a
verification code, the demo pauses and your assistant gives you a private
link. You type it on Demosmith's own page, so it never appears in the chat.

## What you get

- The same finished video the Demosmith app makes
- A voiceover and captions in 31 languages, with your choice of voice and tone
- Zooms on every click
- A link to watch and a download, right in the chat
- The demo saved in your Demosmith library, labelled with the assistant that
  asked for it, where you can change the script, voice or language

From an assistant, Demosmith makes the narrated demo video. Interactive demos,
docs, social clips and product films are made in the Demosmith app.

## What teams ask for

- Make a demo video of the feature we shipped today, for the changelog and the launch post.
- Make a demo of our onboarding, from sign-up to creating the first project.
- Make a short demo of our reporting dashboard I can send to a prospect after today's call.
- Make how-to videos for inviting a teammate, changing their role and resetting a password.
- Make our onboarding demo again in Spanish, French and German.
- In Claude Code, Codex or Cursor: once this branch is on staging, make a demo of the new checkout flow.

## Setup

You need a paid Demosmith plan. Every assistant connects to `https://mcp.demosmith.ai/mcp`.

### Claude (web, desktop and mobile)

1. In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors.
2. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it Demosmith, paste `https://mcp.demosmith.ai/mcp` and click Continue.
4. Keep the sign-in settings Claude suggests and click Add.
5. Click Connect, sign in to Demosmith and allow access.

On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds Demosmith once under
Organization settings, then Connectors. Everyone else clicks Connect next to it
in Customize, then Connectors.

### ChatGPT (Business and Enterprise)

1. In ChatGPT on the web, go to Plugins.
2. Click the + button, then Add custom MCP server.
3. Name it Demosmith and paste `https://mcp.demosmith.ai/mcp` under Connection.
4. Choose OAuth for authentication, tick the box to confirm the warning, then
   click Create as a plugin.
5. Install the plugin, then sign in to Demosmith and allow access. In a new
   chat, type @Demosmith and ask for a demo.

This works on ChatGPT Business and Enterprise, where an admin or owner adds
Demosmith once for the whole workspace. ChatGPT Plus and Pro only allow
read-only connections, so they can't start a demo.

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http demosmith https://mcp.demosmith.ai/mcp
```

Then type `/mcp` in Claude Code, pick demosmith and sign in to Demosmith.

### Codex (app, CLI and IDE)

Add to `~/.codex/config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.demosmith]
url = "https://mcp.demosmith.ai/mcp"
```

Then sign in with `codex mcp login demosmith`.

### Cursor

Create an API key on the Developers page in Demosmith, then add this to
`~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "demosmith": {
      "url": "https://mcp.demosmith.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
```

## Pricing

Included on every paid Demosmith plan: Starter at $40 a month, Pro, Business
and Enterprise. A demo made from a chat uses the same AI minutes as one made in
the app, based on the length of the finished video. The check before each demo
is free. The 3-day trial does not include it.

## Common questions

**Can I close the chat while the demo is being made?**
Yes. Ask about it later, in the same chat or a new one, and the assistant
picks it up.

**How do I disconnect an assistant?**
Disconnect it on the Developers page in Demosmith, or remove Demosmith from
the assistant.
