Show HN: StarryKit – MCP for editable slides, posters and all visual designs

StarryKit, a new open-source plugin from StarryKit, enables AI agents to create and edit visual designs such as slides, posters, and catalogs directly, with export to PPTX, PDF, SVG, PNG, JPEG, HTML, or Google Slides. The plugin, available via Claude and Codex marketplaces, supports importing references like images or websites to recreate editable designs without templates, and includes over 1000 prompts. StarryKit is not yet listed in official plugin directories, requiring manual marketplace setup.

Turn an idea into a polished, editable presentation or visual design—without leaving your AI agent.

简体中文 · Overview · Install · Demos · Use cases · Manual setup · Website

StarryKit gives your AI agent a complete visual design workflow. Start with an idea, image, website, or source file; create a polished visual document; refine every element; and export it in the format you need. You do not need to find the right template first—your references become the starting point.

Feature What it means
Editable
Every design stays editable in StarryKit—from individual elements to complete pages.
Perfect export
Export complete documents or selected pages cleanly to PPTX, PDF, SVG, PNG, JPEG, HTML, or Google Slides.
Import & recreate
Provide an image, a website, or a source file such as design.md . StarryKit uses it as a visual reference and recreates it as an editable design—no template required.
