MCP server for DeckForge — AI-powered pitch deck generation with PPTX export
Connect Deckforge to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP server for DeckForge — AI-powered pitch deck generation with PPTX export. The deckforge mcp server is what makes that connection.
deckforge-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
generate_deck — Generate a complete pitch deck from a description — returns structured slides with content, metrics, and layoutget_deck — Retrieve an existing deck by ID or share tokenexport_pptx — Get a PPTX download link for any deckbrowse_gallery — Browse example pitch decks for inspirationTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: DECKFORGE_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Deckforge's toolset — generate_deck, get_deck, export_pptx and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by crawde; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
