Installation

Quick Start (Recommended)

The easiest way to use this MCP server is with npx. No installation required!

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "presentation-creator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "presentation-creator-mcp-server"]
    }
  }

Important: After first use, you may need to install Playwright browsers:

npx playwright install chromium

Alternative: Global Installation

If you prefer to install the package globally:

npm install -g presentation-creator-mcp-server
npx playwright install chromium

Then configure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "presentation-creator": {
      "command": "presentation-creator-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
