From the repository

Install via uv, clone the repository, then configure the server in your MCP client (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) by providing a --folder-path for storage and optionally a TOGETHER_API_KEY for image generation. After setup, invoke the server’s tools to create, edit, and save presentations.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

powerpoint MCP server

A MCP server project that creates powerpoint presentations

Components

Tools

The server implements multiple tools:
- ``create-presentation`: Starts a presentation - Takes "name" as required string arguments - Creates a presentation object -`add-slide-title-only`: Adds a title slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name" and "title" as required string arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds it to presentation -`add-slide-section-header`: Adds a section header slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name" and "header" as required string arguments - Creates a section header slide with "header" (and optionally "subtitle") and adds it to the presentation -`add-slide-title-content`: Adds a title with content slide to the presentation - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "content" as required string arguments - Creates a title with content slide with "title" and "content" and adds it to presentation -`add-slide-title-with-table`: Adds a title slide with a table - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and array arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a table dynamically built from data -`add-slide-title-with-chart`: Adds a title slide with a chart - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "data" as required string and object arguments - Creates a title slide with "title" and adds a chart dynamically built from data. Attempts to figure out the best type of chart from the data source. -`add-slide-picture-with-caption`: Adds a picture with caption slide - Takes "presentation_name", "title", "caption", "image_path" as required string arguments - Creates a picture with caption slide using the supplied "title", "caption", and "image_path". Can either use images created via the "generate-and-save-image" tool or use an "image_path" supplied by the user (image must exist in folder_path) -`open-presentation`: Opens a presentation for editing - Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments - Opens the given presentation and automatically saves a backup of it as "backup.pptx" - This tool allows the client to work with existing pptx files and add slides to them. Just make sure the client calls "save-presentation" tool at the end. -`save-presentation`: Saves the presentation to a file. - Takes "presentation_name" as required arguments. - Saves the presentation to the folder_path. The client must call this tool to finalize the process. -`generate-and-save-image`: Generates an image for the presentation using a FLUX model - Takes "prompt" and "file_name" as required string arguments - Creates an image using the free FLUX model on TogetherAI (requires an API key)


Configuration
An environment variable is required for image generation via TogetherAI
