Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI tool for working with Claude. It has built-in MCP support.

Setup

Run one command:

claude mcp add --scope user slidev-mcp --transport http https://mcp.slidev-mcp.org/mcp

This adds the server to your user-level MCP configuration. It will be available in all Claude Code sessions.

http is Claude Code's name for the MCP Streamable HTTP transport. The older sse transport is deprecated, and this server does not offer it.

Verify

Start a new Claude Code session and ask:

What MCP tools are available?

You should see render_slides and list_session_slides listed.

Usage

Ask Claude to create a presentation:

Create a presentation about machine learning basics using the default theme

Claude will read the Slidev resources, generate markdown, and return a URL.
