What can you do with this server?

slideshot-mcp is an MCP server that converts HTML carousel slides into high-resolution images, PDFs, and presentations. Key capabilities: * Discover themes (discover_themes): Starting point for the guided workflow — returns available themes, orientation presets, token-usage modes, and output formats. * Create slides (create_slides): Generate a full HTML slide deck from AI-written HTML (default mode) or structured JSON (token_saver mode), supporting 11 themes (generic, branded, instagram-carousel, infographic, pitch-deck, dark-modern, editorial, browser-shell, academic-poster, clinical-medical, sketch-handdrawn) and slide types like cover, content, stats, comparison, timeline, and more. * Render slides (render_slides): Export to PNG, WebP, PDF, and/or PPTX with configurable scale, dimensions, orientation, quality, and slide range. * Edit slides (edit_slides): Make token-efficient partial edits — replace individual slides, patch CSS rules, swap CSS variable values, or add/remove classes without regenerating the whole deck. * List themes (list_themes): Retrieve the full theme catalog at any time without starting a new workflow. * Health check (health_check): Verify that Puppeteer/Chromium is available and functional for rendering.
