SlideCraft

What it does

SlideCraft is an MCP App for Claude Desktop that turns natural language prompts into polished slide decks. Describe your presentation — topic, length, and style — and SlideCraft's API generates it while an interactive build monitor renders inline in your conversation, showing each slide as it's created with live progress and QA scores.

Key features

• AI Deck Generation — Create investor pitches, TED Talk-style decks, training slides, or any format from a single prompt
• 37 Visual Styles — Choose from bold_corporate, ted_talk, minimal_clean, blueprint, neon_cyberpunk, retro_80s, watercolor, terminal_hacker, bloomberg_keynote, and more
• Inline Build Monitor — A live UI renders inside the conversation showing slides as they generate with progress and QA scores
• Deck Management — List and manage your saved SlideCraft decks from within Claude
• Flexible Length — Specify exactly how many slides you want
