# SlideCraft MCP App

Create AI-powered slide decks directly from Claude Desktop — no browser needed.

> **Quick install:** Tell Claude Desktop:
> *"Read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dwinter3/slidecraft-mcp/main/SETUP.md and install SlideCraft for me. My API key is `csk_YOUR_KEY_HERE`."*

## What You Can Do

After setup, say things like:

- *"Create a 10-slide investor pitch about our Q4 results in blueprint style"*
- *"Make me a TED Talk deck about why AI partnerships matter"*
- *"List my SlideCraft decks"*

An interactive build monitor renders inline in your conversation, showing slides as they generate with live progress and QA scores.
