Connecting PresentFast to Claude Code via MCP

This is the shortest possible tutorial for getting Claude Code to publish HTML and Markdown decks via PresentFast. About five minutes start to finish.

What you'll need

• Claude Code installed (latest version)
• A PresentFast account (sign up, it's free)
• A markdown file you want to turn into a deck (any will do — README.md works)

Step 1 — add the MCP server

In your terminal, in any project directory:

claude mcp add presentfast -- npx -y @presentfast/mcp-server@latest

Claude Code now knows about a new MCP server called presentfast. The first time it runs, it'll npm-fetch @presentfast/mcp-server automatically.

Step 2 — verify the connection

Inside Claude Code, run:

/mcp

You should see presentfast in the list of connected servers. If it's missing, restart Claude Code so it re-reads the config.

Step 3 — sign in once

The first time Claude Code calls a PresentFast tool that needs your account (almost any of them), it'll print a one-time OAuth link. Open it in your browser, approve, return to Claude Code. From then on, the session is authenticated.

Step 4 — publish a deck

Ask Claude Code to publish a markdown file:

Publish my pitch.md as a deck via PresentFast.
Give me the share link when it's done.

Claude Code calls the publish tool. PresentFast renders your markdown, hosts it, and returns a URL like https://www.presentfast.com/docs/<id>. The URL is publicly viewable — no login required for whoever you send it to.

Step 5 — share it

That's it. Send the URL. The deck loads in a browser, works on mobile, no extension required.

What else can PresentFast do?

• HTML decks. Pass raw HTML and PresentFast hosts it identically.
• Themed slides. Pass a theme name and the renderer applies your project tokens.
• Private decks (coming soon). Behind a share-link token, not publicly indexed.

If you build anything cool with it, tell us.
