Dead
Every channel of this server has been unreachable for long enough to be marked dead. Its trust score is pinned to 0 and does not recover automatically: even once the server responds again it stays dead until it is manually reinstated.
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
browse_themes Browse Themes ~177
Show the user a visual theme gallery with preview images. ONLY call this when the user explicitly asks to SEE or BROWSE themes visually (e.g. "show me the themes", "what do they look like", "let me pick a theme"). This renders an interactive gallery in the user's UI. To show a filtered subset (e.g. only dark themes), first call list_themes to identify matching themes, then pass their names here. Do NOT call this to decide which theme to use yourself — use list_themes for that instead.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| themes | – | – | Optional list of theme names to show (e.g. ['dracula', 'neocarbon', 'vibe']). If omitted, all themes are shown. Use list_themes first to find matching themes, then pass the filtered names here. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
export_slides Export Slides as PDF ~56
Export a presentation as a downloadable PDF. The presentation must have been created in the current session. Returns a URL to download the PDF.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| uuid | string | yes | UUID of the presentation to export. Must be from the current session. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_slidev_guide Get Slidev Guide ~70
Get the Slidev syntax guide: how to write slides in markdown. Returns the official Slidev syntax reference (frontmatter, slide separators, speaker notes, layouts, code blocks) plus built-in layout documentation and an example deck. Call this once to learn how to write Slidev presentations.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
get_theme Get Theme Details ~201
Get full documentation for a specific theme: layouts, components, and examples. Call this BEFORE render_slides to learn the theme's unique features. Each theme has different layouts, components, and frontmatter options. Use what you learn here to produce high-quality, theme-specific slides. This is the primary tool for preparing to render slides. When the user specifies a theme, call this directly — no need to call browse_themes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme | string | yes | Theme name (e.g. 'seriph', 'neocarbon', 'field-manual'). Available themes: default, seriph, apple-basic, bricks, shibainu, academic, cobalt, dracula, eloc, field-manual, frankfurt, geist, neocarbon,… |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
list_session_slides List Session Slides ~34
List all slide presentations created in the current MCP session. Returns URLs, themes, and timestamps for each presentation you've created.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slides | array | – | – |
No examples provided.
list_themes List Themes ~106
Get a list of all available themes with style descriptions and recommendations. Call this to decide which theme to use. Returns a guide organized by style (dark, academic, modern, playful, etc.) with "best for" recommendations. After picking a theme, call get_theme with the theme name to read its full documentation (layouts, components, examples) before rendering. This tool does NOT display anything to the user — it is for your own reference when choosing a theme.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | string | yes | – |
No examples provided.
render_slides Render Slidev Presentation ~257
Render a Slidev presentation from markdown and return its hosted URL. IMPORTANT: Before calling this tool, you MUST call get_theme with the theme name you plan to use. Each theme has unique layouts, components, and frontmatter options. Apply the theme's specific features in your markdown to produce high-quality slides that match the theme's design. If the user has not specified a theme, call list_themes to pick one. If you are unfamiliar with Slidev markdown syntax, call get_slidev_guide. Images must be remote URLs or base64-encoded inline. Local file paths are not supported.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| color_schema | string | – | Color scheme: 'light' (default), 'dark', or 'auto'. Controls whether slides render in light or dark mode. |
| markdown | string | yes | Full Slidev markdown including frontmatter. Use layouts, components, and features specific to the chosen theme. |

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| uuid | string | yes | UUID of the presentation to screenshot. |
No output schema declared.

How do I install the Slidev MCP server?
Slidev MCP is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

What is the Slidev MCP server?
Slidev MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.joelbarmettlerUZH/slidev-mcp. Generate, render, and host Slidev presentations from markdown. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp).
Is the Slidev MCP server safe to use?
Slidev MCP scores 0 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Slidev MCP server expose?
Slidev MCP exposes 8 tools: render_slides, list_session_slides, list_themes, browse_themes, get_theme, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 963 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Slidev MCP server require authentication?
Its publisher declares no required credentials for Slidev MCP. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.
Is the Slidev MCP server still maintained?
Slidev MCP has been unreachable for long enough that we treat it as dead, and its score is pinned to zero. We last reached this channel on 7 August 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
