McKinsey-style PPTX

by seulee26 · seulee26/mckinsey-pptx

Output executive-grade .pptx — 40 templates (situation/complication/resolution, MECE, drivers tree) plus narrative-rewrite sub-skills.

Lets Claude generate slide decks that look like consulting deliverables: pyramid principle structuring, MECE checks, action-titled headlines, executive-summary-first ordering. Output is real .pptx, not Markdown.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Restart after saving.

Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

Click the MCP Servers icon in the Cline sidebar, then "Edit Configuration".

Same shape as Claude Desktop. Restart Windsurf to pick up changes.

      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

          "https://github.com/seulee26/mckinsey-pptx"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add mckinsey-pptx-skill -- git clone https://github.com/seulee26/mckinsey-pptx

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.
