slidev-mcp

How It Works

1. Connect your AI assistant to mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp

2. Ask it to create a presentation on any topic

3. Share the link it gives you — it works in any browser, no login required

Your slides are hosted and ready to present. Bookmark them, send them to a colleague, or open them on your phone.

Quick Start

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user slidev-mcp --transport streamable-http https://mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp

That's it. Start a conversation and ask Claude to make a presentation.

Claude Desktop / claude.ai

Add mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp as a custom connector in Settings > Connectors.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slidev-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Other Clients

Any MCP client that supports streamable HTTP works with:

See client setup guides for Windsurf, VS Code, JetBrains, Zed, Opencode, Gemini CLI, and ChatGPT.

What You Can Do

• Create presentations — describe what you want, pick a theme, get slides

• Update slides — ask for changes and the same URL updates in place

• Browse themes — ask to see the theme gallery or let the AI pick one for you

• Learn Slidev — the AI reads the Slidev docs automatically and uses theme-specific layouts and components

Sharing Your Slides

Every presentation gets a permanent URL like:

https://slides.slidev-mcp.org/slides/abc123-def456/

• Open it in any browser — no login, no app required

• Bookmark it for later

• Send it to anyone

• Present directly from the browser (press f for fullscreen)

• Slides stay available for 30 days after your session ends

While your session is active, you can keep updating the same presentation. Once you disconnect, the slides become a permanent snapshot.

Themes

24 pre-installed themes to choose from:

Official: default, seriph, apple-basic, bricks, shibainu

Community: academic, cobalt, dracula, eloc, field-manual, frankfurt, geist, neocarbon, neversink, nord, penguin, purplin, scholarly, swiss-ai-hub, the-unnamed, unicorn, vibe, vuetiful, zhozhoba

Ask your AI to "show me the themes" for a visual gallery, or describe a style like "something dark and modern" and let it pick.
