Demo Time

MCP server support

Demo Time provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server via the @demotime/mcp package. This enables AI assistants and other MCP-compatible clients to search and interact with your Demo Time documentation and slides using natural language queries.

What is the Demo Time MCP server?

The MCP server allows:

  • Searching through Demo Time documentation with natural language
  • Automating actions in Demo Time (e.g., opening files, running steps)
  • Integrating with AI assistants and tools that support MCP

How to set up the MCP server

You can run the Demo Time MCP server using npx:

Terminal window
npx -y @demotime/mcp

Or, configure it in your MCP host (such as Visual Studio Code) as follows:

  1. Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:
{
  "servers": {
    "Demo Time": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@demotime/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Reconnect the MCP server in your MCP-compatible tool (e.g., VS Code Copilot Chat).
  2. Once connected, you can ask GitHub Copilot or other AI assistants to search the Demo Time documentation for answers.
