Slidev MCP App

What it does

Provides an interactive slide presentation creator and previewer. It allows AI assistants to generate structured slide decks using Slidev's powerful Markdown syntax and renders them as a live, navigable presentation within the AI client's UI.

Key features

• Live Slide Previews: Instant rendering of slides with smooth transitions and keyboard navigation.
• Advanced Layouts: Support for cover, center, two-column, and section layouts.
• Rich Content: Native integration of LaTeX math (KaTeX), Mermaid diagrams, and syntax-highlighted code blocks.
• Iterative Editing: AI-driven tools to add, update, delete, or reorder slides dynamically during the conversation.
• Thumbnail Navigation: A visual overview strip for jumping between slides quickly.
