MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server for the SlideMaster Public API. This server exposes 20+ tools that let any MCP-compatible AI assistant create AI-powered presentation videos from a simple topic.

5-Minute Quick Start

Step 1: Get an API Key

  1. Go to slidemaster.tw and sign in with Google
  2. Click your avatar (top right) → Settings
  3. Navigate to API Keys
  4. Click Generate Key — copy the sm_live_... key

Step 2: Configure Your AI Client

Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "slidemaster": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@slidemaster/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SLIDEMASTER_API_KEY": "sm_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart and Go

Restart your AI client. Then just say: "Make a 5-slide presentation about [your topic]"

Shortcut: Use topic_to_video to run the entire pipeline in one call.

Tip: generate_outline automatically creates a project — you do NOT need to call create_project separately.

Credits Reference

OperationCost per unit
Render slide (1K)42 credits
Render slide (2K)140 credits
Render slide (4K)250 credits
TTS per slide16 credits
Video per project80 credits

Quick math: 2,000 credits ≈ 14 slides at 2K (slides only). A full 25-slide course with video ≈ 3,980 credits.

Call get_credit_balance before large projects to check remaining credits.

Status Values

When polling check_status, the status field means:

StatusMeaningNext step
processingSlides are being renderedPoll again in 5-10 seconds
parsedSlides ready, check scripts/audioCall batch_generate_scripts or generate_tts
generating_videoVideo being compiledPoll again in 5-10 seconds
video_completedVideo readyCall export_project for download URLs
video_failedVideo generation failedCall generate_video to retry

Style Images

To apply a visual style, use analyze_style_image with a publicly accessible image URL (e.g. Imgur, Cloudinary). Base64 is not supported. The returned style_guide object can be passed to render_slides.
