Connect Natiq to Claude
Making videos with Claude Code? Let Claude write and voice your narration in Algerian Darija, and time every scene to the real audio. Set it up once, in three steps.
1Create your Claude key
The key lets Claude use your Natiq account. Each voiceover is paid from your token balance, as in the Studio.
Once you are signed in, your key is created here in one click.
2Install the Natiq plugin in Claude Code
Open Claude Code and paste this command. Confirm the marketplace, then choose User so Natiq works in all your projects.
/plugin install natiq-voiceover --marketplace Natiq-studio/natiq-voiceover
Prefer to let Claude install it for you?
Paste this message into Claude Code instead. Claude installs the plugin and checks it.
Set up Natiq Algerian Darija voiceovers for me in Claude Code: claude plugin install natiq-voiceover --marketplace Natiq-studio/natiq-voiceover --scope user Then verify that it is installed, enabled, and includes the `natiq` MCP server.
3Paste your key when Claude asks
The plugin asks once for your Natiq API key. Paste the key from step 1: Claude hides it and remembers it, so there is nothing else to configure.
Paste it only in that key field, never in a chat message. To check the connection, type /mcp in Claude Code: Natiq should be listed as connected.
Ask Claude for your video
That is all. Ask in your own words, for example:
/natiq-voiceover:voiceover Make a two-scene product video in Algerian Darija. Check my balance, use one voice, save the audio in public/audio, and time each scene to the actual clip duration. Reuse any unchanged clips.
Claude writes each scene, generates its voice, downloads the audio into your project and times the scene to it. Captions are timed by estimate: there are no word timestamps.
Connect with one terminal command instead
Without the plugin: run this in your terminal. Your key is filled in as soon as you create it in step 1.
claude mcp add --transport http natiq https://natiq.studio/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer natiq_live_..."
Use either this command or the plugin, not both, or Claude will see the Natiq tools twice.
Already installed, or no key prompt?
Run claude update in your terminal for the latest Claude Code. In Claude Code, open /plugin, update the Natiq plugin, then choose Configure options and enter your key.
If the tools do not appear, run /reload-plugins, then /mcp. If sign-in fails, check in Manage keys that your key is active and allows generation.
For Claude Code on your computer. The plugin is open source and gives no free generation: voiceovers use your own balance. View the plugin · API and MCP reference
