## 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 &mdash; 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

```bash
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](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11175166-getting-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp) in Settings > Connectors.

### Cursor

Add to `.cursor/mcp.json`:

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

### Other Clients

Any MCP client that supports [streamable HTTP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) works with:

```
https://mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp
```

See [client setup guides](https://slidev-mcp.org/clients/) for Windsurf, VS Code, JetBrains, Zed, Opencode, Gemini CLI, and ChatGPT.

## What You Can Do

- **Create presentations** &mdash; describe what you want, pick a theme, get slides
- **Update slides** &mdash; ask for changes and the same URL updates in place
- **Browse themes** &mdash; ask to see the theme gallery or let the AI pick one for you
- **Learn Slidev** &mdash; 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 &mdash; 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.
