Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Build it, rehearse it, own the room: draft, edit and publish MDX talks and follow their live rooms.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

  • More stars than 0% of the other 32602 servers in this category
  • Published to the registry more recently than 75% of the other 32602 servers in this category
  • Basic checks equal to or better than 100% of the other 32602 servers in this category

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.

Common questions

Is Kadal Deck 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.6.5) reached the registry 12 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Rystic

Kadal Deck

Build it. Rehearse it. Own the room.

Kadal Deck has your back from the first idea to the last applause: AI that drafts with you, rehearsal with a voice and a timeline, a teleprompter and your phone as the clicker, and a live room that keeps every seat in it — polls, quizzes, Q&A and reactions.

A talk is more than its slides. You need an outline that holds, slides that look the part, a few run-throughs out loud, the right notes in front of you on the day, and a room that stays with you to the end. Kadal Deck is built for all of it. You write the deck in one deck.mdx file, with AI beside you if you want it; you rehearse it with the deck reading your notes and keeping time; you present it with your phone in your hand; and the audience joins from theirs to vote, ask and react. The engine is open source, and hosting is free for public decks.

Try it in your browser with no sign-up at deck.kadal.cc/app/try, or start locally with npm create @kadal/deck@latest my-talk.

Build it

_Start from an idea, not a blank slide._

  • ✦ An AI assistant that drafts with you. In the builder on deck.kadal.cc, tell it about the talk ("turn my notes into eight slides", "add a poll after the intro") and it writes and revises the deck slide by slide, checks its work against the compiler, and answers the comments on your draft. Every change is a revision you can undo. It runs on your own key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or OpenRouter.
  • ✦ Your own agent, too. The Agent Skill and the MCP server teach Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client the format, then let it outline, write slides, lint them, render them to look at its own work, and fix what it sees. The hosted MCP server brings your published decks to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
  • Write where you like. Markdown and MDX in your editor, with the VS Code extension and the kadal-deck CLI, or in the browser builder: edit right on the slide, and drop in emoji, icons, stickers, shapes, free photos, GIFs and memes from the media panel.
  • Look the part. 17 themes in light and dark, 28 built-in backgrounds, and the Pro library of 95 backgrounds and layouts.

Rehearse it

_Practise out loud until it's yours._

  • The deck reads your notes aloud and turns its own pages as it goes, in the browser's voice or the Kokoro AI voice running in your browser. Narration shows every chapter and slide on a timeline, so you hear how long the talk really runs.
  • A plan for every slide. Give each slide a time; the timer's bar marks where you should be, and a pacing badge says how far ahead or behind you are, so you find the long parts before the day.
  • A teleprompter and the presenter view. Your notes, big, on the screen you read from, following each click; and beside the slide, the notes, the next slide and the timer.
  • ✦ Copilot can quiz you on your notes while you rehearse a hosted deck.
  • Glossary cards. The first mention of a term links to its definition, so you, and later the room, never lose the thread.

Present it

_Walk on stage with everything at your fingertips._

The presenter view: your notes, the next slide, a timer with pacing, the room beside you and every tool on one screen. Press S in any deck.

  • The [presenter view](https://deck.kadal.cc/docs/presenter-and-keyboard/): notes, timer, next slide, drawing, camera and recording, and a share window for video calls.
  • Your phone is the remote. A live copy of the slide, your notes, the timer, a laser and a pen, and an air pointer you aim by moving the phone, paired by a QR code. It works from a static host too. Phone remote
  • ✦ Copilot in the presenter view of a hosted deck. Ask it to go to the results slide, black out the screen, circle the total on this slide, or tell you what's in your notes here.
  • Laser, spotlight, pen, zoom, blackout. A built deck presents offline, and exports to PDF, PNG and PPTX.

Own the room

_Keep every seat with you._

The audience page, on the same poll as the presenter view above: scan the QR code, no app, no account. The slide stays in step with you, or roams ahead and catches up.

  • The audience joins from their phones, from a link or the QR code on your slide, with no app and no sign-in, and follows along. The room runs on deck.kadal.cc or on your own server. The live room
  • Live polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A with upvotes, reactions, a pace check and a raised hand, all written as components in your deck.
  • Afterwards, see how it went. Every hosted deck counts its views; paid plans add the time spent on each slide, and Pro and Team keep the sessions and their peak audience, the questions, reactions and poll results. Analytics

Open source, on your side. The engine is AGPL. One deck.mdx, in git, published with one command. AI on your own key: nothing sold, no lock-in. Hosting is free for public decks, with paid plans from $4 a month.

Start in 30 seconds

You need Node 20.19 or later.

npm create @kadal/deck@latest my-talk

cd my-talk && npm install npm run dev # http://localhost:5173: edit deck.mdx and the slide you're on updates in place

A deck is one deck.mdx file: Markdown, split into slides at ---, with components when you need them.

---

title: Hello, room theme: ocean


Hello, room


One point at a time

  • Slides split at ---; a slide below this one starts at ----
  • Code steps line by line, and the notes follow your clicks

When it's ready:

npx kadal-deck build      # dist/: a static site for any host, works offline

npx kadal-deck export # PDF in export/ (add --png or --pptx) npx kadal-deck publish # a URL on deck.kadal.cc with a live room (free plan)

Rather not install anything? Write it in the builder on deck.kadal.cc. Already have a Slidev or reveal.js deck? npx kadal-deck import slidev slides.md or npx kadal-deck import reveal index.html converts it and writes a report of anything that didn't carry over.
