## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 50/100
  - 13% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1384 tokens (~30/item across 45 items; 8 tools + 37 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (50% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100

## MCP tools (8)

### `render_slides` (~257 tokens)

Render Slidev Presentation

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.

Input parameters:

- `color_schema` (string): Color scheme: 'light' (default), 'dark', or 'auto'. Controls whether slides render in light or dark mode.
- `markdown` (string, required): Full Slidev markdown including frontmatter. Use layouts, components, and features specific to the chosen theme.
- `theme` (string, required): Theme name (e.g. 'seriph', 'default', 'neocarbon'). Read slidev://themes/installed for the full list of available themes.
- `uuid`: UUID of an existing presentation to update in-place (same URL). Omit to create a new presentation.

### `list_session_slides` (~34 tokens)

List Session Slides

List all slide presentations created in the current MCP session.

Returns URLs, themes, and timestamps for each presentation you've created.

Output parameters:

- `slides` (array)

### `list_themes` (~106 tokens)

List Themes

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.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `browse_themes` (~177 tokens)

Browse Themes

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.

Input parameters:

- `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.

### `get_theme` (~201 tokens)

Get Theme Details

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.

Input parameters:

- `theme` (string, required): 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,…

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `get_slidev_guide` (~70 tokens)

Get Slidev Guide

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.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `export_slides` (~56 tokens)

Export Slides as PDF

Export a presentation as a downloadable PDF.

The presentation must have been created in the current session.
Returns a URL to download the PDF.

Input parameters:

- `uuid` (string, required): UUID of the presentation to export. Must be from the current session.

### `screenshot_slides` (~62 tokens)

Screenshot Slides

Render all slides as PNG images and return them.

Use this to visually review a presentation. Returns one image per
slide so you can see exactly what each slide looks like and give
specific feedback.

Input parameters:

- `uuid` (string, required): UUID of the presentation to screenshot.
