Generate, render, and host Slidev presentations from markdown
Scored across 8 tools
The tools have clearly distinct roles, especially around themes: list_themes is for reference/comparison, browse_themes is for visual UI browsing, and get_theme is for detailed theme documentation. Render, export, and screenshot tools are also cleanly separated by output type (hosted deck, PDF, PNG review).
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun convention: browse_themes, export_slides, get_theme, list_themes, render_slides, screenshot_slides, etc. The pattern is predictable and readable throughout.
Eight tools is well-scoped for a Slidev presentation server. Each tool supports a distinct part of the workflow: learning syntax, choosing/understanding themes, rendering, previewing, exporting, and looking up sessions.
The surface covers the main lifecycle: learn Slidev syntax, pick a theme, inspect theme docs, render, screenshot-review, export, and look up rendered presentations by UUID. Minor gaps exist around updating or deleting existing presentations, but agents can work around this by re-rendering.
Show the user a visual theme gallery with preview images.
ONLY call this when the user explicitly asks to SEE or BROWSE themes visually (e.g. "show me the themes", "what do they look like", "let me pick a theme"). This renders an interactive gallery in the user's UI.
To show a filtered subset (e.g. only dark themes), first call list_themes to identify matching themes, then pass their names here.
Do NOT call this to decide which theme to use yourself — use list_themes for that instead.
Inputs: themes.
Export a presentation as a downloadable PDF.
Returns a URL to download the PDF.
Inputs: uuid (required).
Get the Slidev syntax guide: how to write slides in markdown.
Returns the official Slidev syntax reference (frontmatter, slide separators, speaker notes, layouts, code blocks) plus built-in layout documentation and an example deck. Call this once to learn how to write Slidev presentations.
Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: result
Get full documentation for a specific theme: layouts, components, and examples.
Call this BEFORE render_slides to learn the theme's unique features. Each theme has different layouts, components, and frontmatter options. Use what you learn here to produce high-quality, theme-specific slides.
This is the primary tool for preparing to render slides. When the user specifies a theme, call this directly — no need to call browse_themes.
Inputs: theme (required). Returns: result
Look up presentations by UUID.
Returns URLs, themes, and timestamps for each requested presentation. The server does not track which presentations belong to a conversation, so pass the UUIDs you got back from render_slides. Unknown UUIDs are omitted.
Inputs: uuids (required). Returns: Presentations matching the requested UUIDs.
Get a list of all available themes with style descriptions and recommendations.
Call this to decide which theme to use. Returns a guide organized by style (dark, academic, modern, playful, etc.) with "best for" recommendations.
After picking a theme, call get_theme with the theme name to read its full documentation (layouts, components, examples) before rendering.
This tool does NOT display anything to the user — it is for your own reference when choosing a theme.
Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: result
Render a Slidev presentation from markdown and return its hosted URL.
IMPORTANT: Before calling this tool, you MUST call get_theme with the theme name you plan to use. Each theme has unique layouts, components, and frontmatter options. Apply the theme's specific features in your markdown to produce high-quality slides that match the theme's design.
If the user has not specified a theme, call list_themes to pick one. If you are unfamiliar with Slidev markdown syntax, call get_slidev_guide.
Images must be remote URLs or base64-encoded inline. Local file paths are not supported.
Inputs: theme (required), markdown (required), uuid, color_schema.
Render all slides as PNG images and return them.
Use this to visually review a presentation. Returns one image per slide so you can see exactly what each slide looks like and give specific feedback.
Inputs: uuid (required).
