Slideless

MCP server for Slideless. Wraps the Slideless HTTP API as Model Context Protocol tools so users can list, share, upload, and manage HTML presentations from any MCP host (Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT desktop, Cursor, etc.) without installing the slideless CLI.

Architecture

Stateless Cloudflare Worker (Durable Object per session for MCP state). The Worker forwards the user's Authorization: Bearer cko_… header to the Slideless Cloud Functions in europe-west1. No database, no secrets to rotate — the user's API key never leaves the connector header.

Claude / ChatGPT  →  mcp.slideless.ai/mcp  (Cloudflare Worker)

                          ▼
                 europe-west1-slideless-ai.cloudfunctions.net

Use as a connector

1. Sign in at https://app.slideless.ai → Settings → API Keys → Create
2. Copy the cko_… key (shown once)
3. In Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
   • URL: https://mcp.slideless.ai/mcp
   • Header: Authorization: Bearer cko_…
4. Connect. The server validates the key on connect; bad keys fail fast.

Local development

npm install
npm run dev           # wrangler dev → http://localhost:8787

Test with the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
# Set transport: HTTP (streamable)
# URL: http://localhost:8787/mcp
# Header: Authorization: Bearer cko_<your-key>

Deploy

npm run deploy

The first deploy creates the Worker at https://slideless-mcp.<account>.workers.dev/mcp. Bind the custom domain mcp.slideless.ai via Cloudflare dashboard or wrangler deploy --routes once DNS is in place.

Type checking:

npm run typecheck
