List all currently open Keynote presentations. Returns index, name, slide count, and file path for each.

Get metadata for an open presentation: slide count, available master slide names, and file path. Call this first to understand what masters are available before redesigning.

Get the full element tree for a single slide: all text boxes, images, and shapes with their position, size, font, and color. Use this to understand the structure of a slide before editing it.

Export a single slide as a PNG image. Returns the file path. Use the Read tool on that path to visually analyze the slide with vision.

Export all slides as PNG images to /tmp/keynote-mcp-export/. Returns the list of file paths. Use Read on each path to visually analyze slides.

One-call setup for redesign: exports all slides as PNG images AND returns the full element tree for every slide. This is the best starting point for a full presentation redesign or polish pass.

Replace the text content of a text element on a slide. Preserves existing font styling.

Set font family, size, and/or color on a text element. Any omitted fields are left unchanged. Use this to enforce typographic consistency across slides.

Move an element to a new position on the slide. Coordinates are in points from the top-left corner. Keynote standard slide is 1920×1080 pts.

Resize an element on the slide. Dimensions are in points.

Change the background color of a slide to a solid color. Use this to establish a consistent color palette across all slides.

Change the fill color of a shape element.

Delete an element from a slide. Use with care — this cannot be undone via the MCP. Keynote undo (Cmd+Z) still works in the app.

Add a new text box to a slide at a specified position and size.

Add a new shape (rectangle or oval) to a slide. Optionally set a fill color.

Apply a master slide to one slide or all slides. Use keynote_get_presentation_info first to see available master names. Applying a blank master before color changes can help unlock the background.

Add a new blank slide at the end of the presentation.

Delete a slide from the presentation.

Duplicate a slide. The copy is inserted immediately after the original.
