Slidev Builder MCP

What it does

Slidev Builder MCP connects your AI assistant to a full Slidev presentation workflow. Describe your presentation topic and the server generates structured slide decks with corporate themes, interactive charts, and reusable components — all while automatically versioning every change via Git Guardian.

Tools

• create_deck_protected — Scaffold a new Slidev deck with automatic backup and Git integration
• create_slide — Append a slide (text, chart, diagram) with pre-operation auto-backup
• apply_theme — Switch to a Hatch corporate theme with rollback capability
• generate_chart — Insert interactive Chart.js visualisations (line, bar, pie) with version control
• backup_presentation — Manually trigger a named checkpoint
• restore_presentation — Emergency recovery from any backup point
• backup_status — Check protection health and available restore points
• create_component / list_components / add_component — Build and reuse slide elements across decks
