Slidev Builder

You can run and manage professional Slidev presentations with built-in automatic protection, backup, and intelligent recovery through the MCP server. This setup helps you create, edit, and deploy slide decks confidently, knowing every change is automatically safeguarded and versioned.

How to use

Start by installing the MCP client globally or using a local npm/npx approach, then configure your MCP client to connect to the Slidev Builder MCP server. From there you can create protected decks, add slides, apply themes, and generate charts with automatic protection and easy recovery when needed.

Key usage patterns include creating protected decks, adding content, and applying themes while everything is automatically backed up and versioned. You can request smart recovery if content appears to be missing or corrupted, and you can perform manual backups or restorations when necessary.

How to install

npm install -g @hatch/slidev-builder-mcp-v2

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slidev-builder-v2": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hatch/slidev-builder-mcp-v2"]
    }
  }
}

# Example runtime command for local development (if needed):
npx -y @hatch/slidev-builder-mcp-v2

Additional sections

Configuration is designed to be zero-configuration for protection features, but you can customize how you connect your MCP client to the server and what you want protected. The client JSON snippet shown here demonstrates how to point to the Slidev Builder MCP v2 server and enable automatic protection by default.

Protection in action is automatic for common operations. For example, creating a presentation, adding slides, or applying a theme all trigger backups, commits, and verifications. If content seems missing, you can use smart recovery to compare backups and restore to a previous version. You can also run manual backups and restoration if needed.

Examples of typical protected commands include creating a deck, adding slides with charts, and applying a corporate theme with automatic protection and rollback capabilities. All actions are tracked with backups and version history.
