Install

Add it to your agent

Decaframe is two things: the tools your agent builds a deck with, and a skill that teaches it to use them well. Pick your agent below and install both.

Decaframe runs on your computer. Your agent starts it, builds the deck on your own disk, and nothing is uploaded. So it works in apps that can start a program, and not in a website or a phone app.

The Claude website and the Claude phone apps — Use the Claude desktop app.
ChatGPT on the web and on your phone — Use the ChatGPT desktop app.
Claude in Chrome, and Gemini in Chrome — A browser extension cannot start a program.
Anything that reaches a server over the internet — Decaframe runs beside you, not in a data centre. That is what keeps it free and your work yours.

You need Node 22 or later. Nothing else: the first run downloads what it needs, which takes a minute, and after that it starts instantly.

Claude Cowork the desktop app

Open Customize › Plugins in the sidebar, choose Add marketplace and paste:

The marketplace

decaframe/decaframe

Then install decaframe from it. The plugin carries both halves — the tools and the skill — so there is nothing else to add.

Then ask in Cowork, not in Chat. Plugins run in Cowork and in Claude Code; Chat does not use them. In Chat the skill still loads, so Claude will happily plan a deck and then find no tools — the install is fine, the tab is wrong.

The desktop app is the whole of it: plugins that run a program on your computer do not work on the Claude website or on your phone.

Your deck is saved in Documents › Decaframe, and the agent tells you the file name. Ask for a link and you can open it in the editor.

ChatGPT desktop app only

Open Settings › MCP servers › Add server, choose STDIO, name it decaframe and give it this command:

The command

npx -y decaframe mcp

Restart the app. For the skill, see the Codex panel — the two share their settings.

The desktop app only. ChatGPT on the web and on your phone reach servers over the internet and cannot start one here.

OpenClaw

The tools

openclaw mcp add decaframe --command npx --arg -y --arg decaframe --arg mcp

The skill

npx skills add decaframe/decaframe

Check it with openclaw mcp doctor decaframe --probe. OpenClaw also keeps its servers under mcp.servers in its config, if you would rather write it there.

    args: ["-y", "decaframe", "mcp"]

Warp

Add decaframe to that file ~/.warp/.mcp.json

{

Goose by Block

Add to Goose

Or add it by hand — Goose keeps its servers in YAML, not JSON:

The tools ~/.config/goose/config.yaml

extensions:
  decaframe:
    enabled: true
    type: stdio
    cmd: npx
    args: ["-y", "decaframe", "mcp"]

LM Studio

Add to LM Studio

Or open the Program tab, choose Install › Edit mcp.json and add:

The tools mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "decaframe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "decaframe",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

LM Studio does not read skills, so the deck is built from the tools alone. A larger model makes a better job of it.

Cherry Studio

Settings › MCP › MCP Servers › Add. Command npx, arguments -y decaframe mcp.

Then turn the server on and bind it to your agent under Work › your agent › Edit › MCP — Cherry Studio keeps the two steps apart, and a server nobody has bound is a server your agent cannot see.
