Common questions
Is Slideshot safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (4.4.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

slideshot
Convert AI-generated HTML carousels into high-res PNG, WebP, PDF, and PPTX — via CLI, Web App, MCP Server (Cursor MCP, Claude MCP, OpenCode MCP), or REST API.
[Web App](https://slideshot.vercel.app) · [npm CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/slideshot) · [npm MCP](https://www.npmjs.com/package/slideshot-mcp) · [API Spec](https://slideshot.vercel.app/api/openapi.json)
Wrong install?
The MCP package name is `slideshot-mcp` on npm (canonical Glama listing). Use npx -y slideshot-mcp — not unrelated html-to-slides or third-party scoped copies from generic searches.
