zed -2slides

This MCP server wraps the 2slides-mcp server, exposing a set of tools that let you generate slides, check the status of long-running jobs, and browse available themes. Before using it, obtain a 2slides API key and configure it in your Zed extension settings under the mcp-server-2slides context. The available tools are: slides_generate, which creates slides based on a theme and your input; jobs_get, which retrieves the status and results for a given job ID; and themes_search, which lists or searches the themes you can apply when generating slides. Use these tools through your MCP client, providing the appropriate parameters and the API key is sent to 2slides for authentication.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm (or another environment you use to run MCP servers via npx)

Installation steps:

1. Ensure Node.js and npm are installed. You can verify with: node -v npm -v

2. In your project or environment where MCP servers are configured, install the 2slides-mcp MCP server wrapper by using npx (no global install required): npx -y 2slides-mcp

3. Configure your MCP server in the environment you manage MCP servers to point to the wrapper with the required API key as described in the README. The API key should be supplied via the 2SLIDES_API_KEY environment variable.

4. Start or initialize the MCP server according to your usual workflow for MCP servers (the wrapper runs via npx and uses the 2slides-mcp package).

Tips and considerations:

• Make sure you keep your 2slides API key secure and do not commit it to source control. Use environment variables or secret management where possible.
• The tools (slides_generate, jobs_get, themes_search) expect parameters defined by the 2slides-mcp API. Refer to 2slides-mcp documentation for exact parameter shapes and response formats.
• If you rotate your API key, update the 2SLIDES_API_KEY value in your configuration to avoid authentication errors.
• If you encounter network or authentication errors, verify that the API key is valid and that there are no outbound restrictions from your hosting environment to 2slides’ API endpoints.
