What is the Propresenter MCP MCP server?

Propresenter MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. ProPresenter 7 MCP server.

What you get

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides complete control over ProPresenter presentations via the ProPresenter API. This server implements the full ProPresenter API specification with 231 endpoints organized into 27 API groups and exposed through modular client classes.

What the assistant can call

Once Propresenter MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Architecture — Complete three-layer implementation (clients → tools → handlers)
  • Build — The Build tool exposed by this server

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: PROPRESENTER_URL, PROPRESENTER_PASSWORD. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • Node.js 18 or higher - ProPresenter 7 with API enabled - ProPresenter running and accessible on your network

Choosing this one

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. Propresenter MCP's toolset — Architecture, Build — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by alxpark; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the propresenter mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Propresenter MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 2 tools (Architecture, Build) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Propresenter MCP directly.
