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?

Building a deck over the MCP server costs zero credits. Credits are only used for AI image generation or AI edits inside the heydecks dashboard.

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 free on every plan.

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.

Free over MCP

Building decks through the MCP server costs zero credits, so Cursor can iterate as many times as you like.

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 are always free.
