The pip install deckrun-mcp package and local-execution paths documented below work immediately against your own deployment. For hosted access, open an Access Request — we respond within one business day.

MCP server for Deckrun by Agentic Decks — generate presentation PDFs, narrated videos, and audio from Markdown. Built for AI agents and IDEs.

Deckrun is a document execution engine: your AI writes the content, Deckrun renders it into pixel-perfect branded PDFs, narrated MP4 videos, and MP3 audio — from a single Markdown source. No slide editor, no video tool, no audio studio.

Install: pip install deckrun-mcp
