Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| generate_presentation | Build a deck from simple markup (markup, theme?) → download URL |
| generate_from_template | Build a deck from a structured template (title + slides, incl. native charts) |
| get_account_status | Plan, remaining credits, recent generations, and recent errors |
Markup rules
- A single # Title line sets the deck title.
- Each ## Heading starts a new slide.
- ### Heading+ are sub-headings; -/* are bullets.
- Fenced code blocks, links, bold, and inline code are cleaned up.
Themes: corporate, modern, minimal, vibrant.
What makes it different
- Structure-preserving edits: send your own .pptx template and replace
text/numbers while keeping the exact layout, fonts, and branding — the thing
most generators break.
- Native editable charts from data (column/bar), not images.
- Zero setup: one hosted endpoint, OAuth, credit-based pricing (1 credit =
up to 10 slides). Free tier returns watermarked files; Pro removes the mark.
See SKILL.md for an installable agent-skill version and
server.json for the MCP registry manifest.
