Deckrun MCP Server

MCP server for Deckrun by Agentic Decks — generate presentation PDFs, narrated videos, and audio from Markdown. Built for AI agents and IDEs.

Deckrun is a document execution engine: your AI writes the content, Deckrun renders it into pixel-perfect branded PDFs, narrated MP4 videos, and MP3 audio — from a single Markdown source. No slide editor, no video tool, no audio studio.

Free tier: no API key required — generate PDFs instantly at free.agenticdecks.com. Paid tier: set DECKRUN_API_KEY to unlock video, audio, custom themes, and more. See pricing.

Install: pip install deckrun-mcp
