Claude Code + MagicSlides MCP

Make a document with Claude Code

Claude Code can read your whole repository from the terminal, so it can write an architecture overview that matches the code instead of an old wiki page. With the MagicSlides MCP server added, it publishes that overview as a hosted doc with a link you can share with new engineers.

Set it up See the example

Set up MagicSlides in Claude Code (one time)

Run this once. Add --scope user to make MagicSlides available in every project.

Example: what you type in Claude Code

You

Read this repo and write an architecture overview for new engineers: what the service does, the request flow, folder layout, main components, config and known gaps. Publish it as a MagicSlides doc.

Claude Code

Listed the repo tree and read package.json files in apps/ and packages/
Read the API entry point, worker jobs, Drizzle schema and env loader
Wrote the overview with a layout table, component notes and known gaps
Called create_doc with the Markdown and returned the share link

I published the shiplog architecture overview as a MagicSlides doc. It covers the webhook to worker to changelog flow, the repo layout and three known gaps, including the single-instance worker.

FAQ

Does Claude Code read my code to write the doc?

Yes. It reads local files in your repo and can run shell commands, so the overview is based on the actual source and manifests.

Is my code uploaded to MagicSlides?

Only the Markdown that Claude Code writes is sent to create_doc. The doc contains whatever text it includes, so review it before sharing.

How do I log in?

After adding the server, run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Log in with MagicSlides. There is no API key.

Can I update the doc later?

Yes. You get an editor link, and the MagicSlides server also has get_doc and update_doc so Claude Code can revise it after a refactor.
