@pagus-kit/mcp

MCP server that renders PowerPoint files as interactive inline widgets in AI clients (Claude Desktop, claude.ai, VS Code) via the MCP Apps extension.

Part of the Pagus project.

Install

npm install -g @pagus-kit/mcp

Or use via npx without installing:

npx @pagus-kit/mcp

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pagus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pagus-kit/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. A render_slides tool becomes available.

Claude Code

Add a .mcp.json to your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pagus": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pagus-kit/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Ask Claude to preview any .pptx file:

Preview the slides in /path/to/deck.pptx

The tool renders an interactive widget directly in the conversation with:

• Prev / Next buttons
• Slide picker dropdown
• Keyboard navigation (Arrow keys, Page Up/Down, Space, Home, End)
• Responsive sizing and dark mode support
• Google Fonts substitution for Office fonts
