Getdeck does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 5.1% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

export
export_pptx
Turn a deck into a downloadable .pptx file. Requests like "make it a PowerPoint", "PPT로 뽑아줘", or "export this deck" mean this tool. Takes the layout ids and the text for each slot, and returns a signed download link. Coordinates come from our measurements, so the file matches what the gallery shows — but the boxes are fixed, so text longer than slots[].max_chars will be clipped.
layout
get_layout
Return one layout as a ready-to-use, self-contained document: HTML, theme CSS, and its slot definitions. Call this once the user knows which layout they want, or with ids returned by suggest_deck.
layouts
list_layouts
Search or filter the layout catalog to find a specific layout. Returns metadata only, no HTML. Also the tool for "what is new", "any new layouts?", "what got added since last month" - pass `since` and it returns only what landed after that date. If the user asked for a whole deck rather than one slide, call suggest_deck first instead of this.
starter
get_starter_kit
Call this when joining several fetched layouts into one deck file. Requests like "merge these into one file", "bundle it as a deck", or "make it one HTML" mean this tool. Returns the base CSS, assembly rules, spacing tokens, and a viewport snippet for standalone viewing.
suggest
suggest_deck
Compose a deck and return a preview link the user can open in the browser right away. The user sees what the finished deck looks like without a single file being generated. Use this for requests like "make me a pitch deck", "I need a sales deck", "10 slides for an investor update", "put together a product overview", or "show me a deck outline" - anything where the user has a topic but has not picked layouts yet. ALSO use it when the user already has layouts in hand - "이 레이아웃들 모아서 프리뷰 만들어줘", "combine these layouts into a preview", "추천 프리뷰 만들어줘", "show these together as a deck" - pass them as layout_ids and it returns ONE deck preview link for the whole set. Never answer that kind of request with a list of individual layout links: one deck preview is the deliverable. Returns one theme + a slide order + the preview link, plus a `clarify` question to put to the user so the composition and theme are their call, not a guess. Always pass the preview link through to the user verbatim, ask clarify.question with its options, and wait for the answer - then call this tool again with deck_id / theme_id as clarify.answer_with says. Do not start generating files while a clarify question is unanswered. Once it is settled, fetch each layout id with get_layout, then call get_starter_kit to join them into one deck.
theme
get_theme
Return one theme in full: its complete CSS and design tokens.
themes
list_themes
Search or filter the theme catalog. Returns metadata and key colors only, not the full CSS.

Getdeck — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Getdeck do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: export_pptx, get_layout, get_starter_kit, get_theme, list_layouts, list_themes and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Getdeck working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 2 of 91 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 703 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Getdeck as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Getdeck?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Getdeck need an API key?
No. Getdeck completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Getdeck?
It answers our handshake in 703 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
