Slidev MCP

joelbarmettleruzh/slidev-mcp

Connects your AI to a hosted Slidev instance that generates presentation decks from markdown and hands you back a shareable URL. Exposes tools to create slides, update them in place, browse 24 pre-installed themes, and pull in Slidev's docs so the AI knows how to use layouts and components. Each presentation gets a permanent link that works in any browser without login, hosted for 30 days after your session ends. Runs over streamable HTTP at mcp.slidev-mcp.org, so no local setup needed. Reach for this when you want to turn a conversation into slides without touching an editor or managing files yourself.
