Can Cursor make a pitch deck?

Yes. Ask the Cursor agent for a pitch deck and point it at your notes or a doc in the repo. With the heydecks MCP server connected it picks pitch slides such as market sizing, traction, and the ask, writes them, and returns a live link, a PDF, and a PPTX on your brand.

Does Cursor have a PowerPoint plugin?

Not a built-in one. Cursor extends through MCP servers, and heydecks is an MCP server for decks. Add it once, or run npx heydecks install, and deck tools appear to the Cursor agent.

Can the Cursor agent design a deck, not just write it?

Cursor writes slide content well but leaves the design to you. With the heydecks MCP server it builds a designed, on-brand deck and exports a native PPTX, all from your editor.

Why not have Cursor generate a .pptx file directly?

A raw file Cursor writes is unstyled and off-brand. heydecks turns the same content into a designed deck and a real, editable PPTX, locked to your brand.

How do I add heydecks to Cursor?

Add the heydecks server to your Cursor MCP config with your token. The deck tools appear to the Cursor agent right away.

Does building decks with Cursor cost credits?

Yes. A deck costs 100 credits whether you build it over MCP, the REST API, or in the dashboard. AI images and AI edits cost extra; reading a deck and exporting it cost no credits.

Will the deck match my brand?

Yes. Point heydecks at your website once and the Brand Kernel applies your colors, type, and logo to every slide Cursor builds.

Can I build decks from files in my project?

Yes. Point Cursor at a README, a spec, or a docs folder and it turns the content into slides, then heydecks renders and exports them.

Is heydecks free to start?

Yes. You can start free with no card and a one-time grant of credits. The MCP server is available on every plan.

Can Cursor make PowerPoints? On its own, Cursor can write a python-pptx script that saves a plain, unstyled .pptx. Add the heydecks MCP server once and the Cursor agent builds a designed deck instead: it writes the slides from a README, a spec, or your notes, and heydecks returns a live link, a PDF, and an editable PowerPoint on your brand.

Why build decks with heydecks.

Build decks in your editor

No browser, no slide app. The Cursor agent drives heydecks from the same window where you write code.

On-brand every time

Extract your brand from your site once. Every deck Cursor builds honors your colors, type, and logo with no restyling.

Three formats, one call

A live link for sharing, a PDF for the data room, and a native PPTX for anyone who wants to edit the slides directly.

Built over MCP

Cursor drives the whole flow over MCP, drafting and refining the deck without you touching a slide.

Cursor alone

Cursor can write slide text in chat, but you still paste it into PowerPoint, fix the layout, and re-apply your brand by hand every time.

Cursor with heydecks

Cursor calls heydecks and hands back a finished, on-brand deck with a link, a PDF, and a PPTX. No copy and paste, no reformatting.

Questions about Cursor

Yes, through heydecks. Cursor writes the deck and heydecks exports a native PPTX along with a live link and a PDF, all from one request. Exports cost no credits; editable PPTX export is on Solo and up.
