Slideshot MCP Server

Convert HTML to PDF/PNG/WebP/PPTX slide carousels with 11 themes — for LinkedIn, decks, posts. Exposed over MCP by the slideshot mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Convert AI-generated HTML carousels into high-res PNG, WebP, PDF, and PPTX — via CLI, Web App, MCP Server, or REST API.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Method — Path
• POST — /api/render
• GET — /api/prompt?variant=generic
• Platform — Method
• Cursor — MCP
• ChatGPT — OpenAPI Action
• OpenWebUI — OpenAPI Tool

Adding it to your client

The server ships on npm as slideshot, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

When to reach for it

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Slideshot's toolset — Method, POST, GET and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by 06ketan; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Caveats

• 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.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the slideshot mcp server does with a few real requests.
