From the project README

Tafla plugin

Tafla shows the working behind a number as a walkthrough: the givens, each step with its formula, the result circled, and captions or a voice that talk the reader through it. The calculation stays live, so the reader can drag an input and watch every step recalculate.

This repo is the Claude Code plugin. It adds the Tafla MCP server, which has one tool, explain_calculation, and a skill that says when to hand a calculation to it.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add hoddmachine/tafla-plugin
claude plugin install tafla@tafla

Then, in a Claude Code session, type /mcp, pick tafla and choose to authenticate. Your browser opens on Tafla, you sign in if you aren't, and approve. That's it.

Any other host that speaks MCP over HTTP with OAuth can use the server directly, without this plugin:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tafla": { "type": "http", "url": "https://www.tafla.is/api/mcp" }
  }
}

The full setup, the tool's rules and an example call are at tafla.is/agents.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
