Error Recovery

Best When

You want to generate and iterate on slide decks interactively from inside Zed using MCP tools, and you can securely supply a 2slides API key.

Avoid When

You need documented idempotency/retry semantics, explicit rate-limit headers, or a fully documented error model at the MCP-tool level.

Use Cases

• Generate presentation slides from user input within Zed
• Search for presentation themes before generating slides
• Track asynchronous slide-generation jobs and retrieve results

Not For

• Production workloads that require guaranteed reliability or published uptime/SLA
• Use cases needing rich REST/GraphQL/SDK interfaces beyond MCP tooling
• Organizations requiring strict documented rate-limit behavior or detailed operational guidance

Known Gotchas

⚠ No explicit guidance on job polling cadence or retry/idempotency for jobs_get/slides_generate is provided in the README.
⚠ Rate limits and error-code semantics are not documented in the wrapper README (may need to consult 2slides-mcp docs).
⚠ The wrapper depends on the external 2slides-mcp server; behavior and tool schemas may differ from what is implied here.

Alternatives

Use the underlying 2slides-mcp directly (if available) instead of the Zed wrapper extension Call 2slides APIs directly (if you have access to their API endpoints) from your own backend Use other MCP slide-generation integrations, if available for your workflow
