Related MCP server: mcp-powerpoint

Install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pptx": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:207studio/pptx-mcp"] }
  }
}

Or clone and run npm install && node src/index.js (Node 18+).

Bot ideas

  • Deck summarizer: outline a .pptx you got by email and draft a reply.

  • Cover gallery: pull the cover thumbnail of every deck in a folder.

  • Share preview: turn a deck into one HTML page you can share as a link.

Need real slides in your own app?

pptx-mcp reads text only. It does not render layouts, images, animations or transitions.

To play .pptx files inside your web app with layout, animations and transitions, use PPTX Player SDK. It is a one-time purchase with source included.

    A3.6/5.0

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Each tool targets a distinct output: JSON outline, cover thumbnail image, and HTML preview page. pptx_outline and pptx_web_preview both surface slide text, so an agent might briefly weigh one against the other, but the format/naming distinction (JSON vs HTML, all slides vs first 5) clarifies intent.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All three tools use an identical pattern: the pptx_ prefix plus a snake_case noun/descriptor. Fully predictable and readable.

    Tool Count4/5

    Three tools is a small but coherent set for a read-only pptx inspection server. It is on the lean side, but each tool earns its place without redundancy.

    Completeness3/5

    Coverage is entirely read-only: no creation, editing, or slide/image extraction beyond the saved cover. The web preview also caps at the first 5 slides, a notable gap for a complete inspection surface.
