HTML Slide Studio

# HTML Slide Studio

HTML Slide Studio is a Markdown-first presentation workspace built with React, Marp, and CodeMirror. It combines live slide preview, browser presentation mode, Mermaid diagrams, reusable style presets, offline HTML export, and a local MCP server for agent authoring.

Features

• Edit Marp Markdown with a live 16:9 preview

• Navigate with thumbnails, keyboard controls, or fullscreen presentation mode

• Render editable Mermaid fences and export them as embedded SVG data

• Choose from seven style presets or add deck-specific CSS

• Apply the optional Narrative Infographic design profile and diagnostics

• Open and save deck.md + assets/ folders through the browser

• Export a self-contained HTML presentation with a restrictive offline CSP

• Create, validate, and export decks through a constrained stdio MCP server

Related MCP server: mcp-ToseaAI

Quick Start

Requirements:

• Node.js 22 or newer

• npm

• Microsoft Edge or another Chromium browser for local authoring

npm ci
npm run dev

Open the URL printed by Vite, normally http://127.0.0.1:5173/.

The repository includes one generic example-deck. User-created decks are ignored by Git by default so presentation content is not accidentally published.

Authoring Decks

The canonical structure is:

decks/<deck-id>/
├── deck.md
└── assets/
    ├── diagram.svg
    └── screenshot.png

Use Open folder to grant read/write access to an existing deck folder. Markdown changes update the preview immediately. Use the save icon or Ctrl+S to write back to deck.md.

Bundled decks opened with ?deck=<deck-id> can be saved only while the local Vite development or preview server is running. The save endpoint accepts existing deck IDs only and is not included in production builds.

To intentionally version additional decks, update the deck rules in .gitignore first.

Mermaid

Add an editable Mermaid fence:

```mermaid
flowchart LR
  Source --> Preview --> Export
```

The editor renders it in the browser. Offline export replaces the fence with Base64-encoded SVG image data; Mermaid source and runtime code are not included in the exported HTML.

MCP Server

The included VS Code configuration starts the MCP server with:

npm run mcp

For another MCP client, configure a stdio server with command npm, arguments run mcp, and this repository as the working directory.

Available tools:

• htmlslide_list_decks

• htmlslide_get_deck

• htmlslide_create_deck

• htmlslide_update_deck

• htmlslide_put_asset

• htmlslide_validate_deck

• htmlslide_export_html

The MCP server confines access to the configured deck root, rejects path traversal and symlink escapes, validates passive assets, and blocks remote dependencies during offline export.

Scripts

Architecture

• src/App.tsx — editor, preview, presentation, save, and export workflows

• src/render/ — Marp rendering and slide source ranges

• src/mermaid/ — secure Mermaid expansion and SVG validation

• src/export/ — offline single-file HTML generation

• src/design/ — design profiles, diagnostics, and shared themes

• mcp/ — constrained deck repository and MCP server

• design-profiles/ — reusable authoring guidance

• decks/example-deck/ — public, non-customer example

Security and Privacy

• Keep confidential decks outside this repository or rely on the default ignored decks/* paths.

• Do not expose the Vite development server to an untrusted network when local deck saving is enabled.

• Export requires local assets and rejects external runtime dependencies.

• See SECURITY.md for vulnerability reporting.
