Frequently asked questions

1

What prerequisites are needed?

You need Python 3.12 or higher, the mkslides CLI installed and available in your PATH, and an MCP client (e.g., Claude in VSCode). Docker is also required if using the Docker installation method.

2

How do I configure the server in my MCP settings?

Add an entry to your MCP settings JSON. For a pip installation, use the command `python` with the path `src/mkslides_mcp_server/server.py`. For Docker, use the command `docker` with arguments to run the image, including a volume mount for the output directory.

3

Where are the generated slides saved?

By default, slides are saved to the `./mkslides_output` directory on the host. When using Docker, the container saves files to `/app/mkslides_output`, which must be mapped to a host directory via the `-v` volume mount.

4

What parameters does the `generate_slides` tool accept?

The only required parameter is `markdown_content` (a string). Optional parameters include `slides_theme`, `slides_highlight_theme`, and `revealjs_options` (a dictionary of Reveal.js settings).

5

Can I customize the slide theme and transition?

Yes. You can set slide themes via the `slides_theme` parameter, highlight themes via `slides_highlight_theme`, and override Reveal.js options like `transition` using the `revealjs_options` dictionary.
