✨ Introduction

slidev-mcp is an intelligent slide generation tool based on Slidev that integrates large language model technology, allowing users to automatically generate professional online PPT presentations with simple descriptions.

Key Features:

• Dramatically lowers the barrier to using Slidev
• Natural language interactive slide creation
• Automated generation of professional presentations

We have also open-sourced the AI PPT integrated website project based on slidev-mcp Slidev-AI, and you can see the effect in the following video 👇

🚀 Quick Start

For detailed setup and usage instructions, please see Quick Start Guide.

Environment Variable

You can customize the root directory where generated Slidev projects are stored by setting the environment variable SLIDEV_MCP_ROOT (MUST be an absolute path). If not set (or set as a non-absolute path), the default relative directory .slidev-mcp (under current working directory) is used.

Example (Windows cmd, PowerShell similar):

Projects will then be created under that absolute path instead of .slidev-mcp/.

# powershell
set SLIDEV_MCP_ROOT=my-slides

# bash or zsh
export SLIDEV_MCP_ROOT=my-slides

# then run the script
uv run servers/themes/academic/server.py

Projects will then be created under my-slides/ instead of .slidev-mcp/.
